The pages of life
Are filled with joy and strife
Memories etched forever
Inked on each page together
The happy moments shine
Like stars in the night sky
The laughter and love divine
And hopes that appear high
But there's also pain
And tears shed in vain
The hurt that runs deep
Memories we’d rather not keep
Yet we must embrace it all
For it's the story we recall
Each page has its own tale
We must treasure them without fail
For Life is a book
With its every cranny and nook
And through every page
We find something to gauge
In the end, it's the sum of our
parts
The collection of our hearts
The memories we hold dear
That makes our life story clear
So let us turn each page with care
For each one has a story to share
And may we always remember
The lessons learned from every
chapter
In the end, when the book is closed
And our final story is composed
May our story be one of love
And the memories we leave -
remembered above
