EVERYONE HAS A STORY

Before our first breath of life, our first day recognized,
A book, blank on the inside, pages not yet written.
The cover plain without scene or color, our story begins,
This is our book until the last page written, everyone has a story.
We begin with that which we first see, pictures created,
We have the choice to write this ourselves or be written about.
Live our lives through our own eyes, walk and dream, page by page,
We will learn and experience many things as we travel our chosen path.
There will be times when a road taken is not the one we might desire,
We will come across every emotion created and attempt to deal with it.
Everyone has a story to write, write it yourself until the last page,
When it’s time to put that pen down, rest your weary head.
