Everyone lives as they believe to be the way they are supposed to live. Each interpets life differently.

 Book of Life

.
As I travel through this life
With the gifts that were granted
To me to use as I want without
Any restrictions or reservations
.
I can see and feel the beauty 
Of all that is around me
Engulfing me with its majesty
As I travel on this road
.
A road that we each must walk
To fulfill our destiny
Whatever that may be
A course set for you and me
.
Moments of joy and happiness
Make the moments of suffering 
And pain bearable…for we know
That tomorrow will bring a new day
.
We each have our own book 
Filling the blank pages from the 
Very first cry as we entered this world
Leaving behind the safety and warmth
Of our mother’s womb 
.
We learn as we grow and listen
To all who teach us the lessons  
That we must have to continue 
On our journey to fulfillment
.
As each page is filled with how we live
What we do and what we give
Every thought, every memory is there
What we kept and what we shared
.
When the time comes our book of life
Will follow us to our ultimate destiny
Heaven or hell…which will it be?

Life writ large, the path of destiny, and your poem pointed the way!

First off, good to see you back, Happy Hazel Eyes. Not being one that is religious, yet I know what is wrong and what is right and, though deep down I occasionally wonder where does one go after life, I think of the wrong that I have done but I also think of the right that I have done and feel on the scale of life the right far outweighs the bad.
Lovely words you have written here my dear old friend.

We are all journeying in our book of life....chapter... after chapter... until we die.

I say neither. Our book of life will be either cherished or hated by those that follow. Or, it may be totally ignored and we will no longer exist, even in the minds of men.
