Are you the author of your book of life?

BOOK OF LIFE
By Michael Gallegos Borresen

Life is filled with many chapters.
Are you the author of your book of life.
My parents wrote the first chapter.
Sometimes they still write paragraphs.
My teachers wrote the second chapter.
Sometimes they still write paragraphs.
Religion wrote the third chapter.
Sometimes religion still writes paragraphs.
Are you the author of your book of life.
Television wrote the fourth chapter.
Sometimes television still writes paragraphs.
Employers wrote the fifth chapter.
Sometimes they still write paragraphs.
Politicians wrote the sixth chapter.
Many times they still do.
Are you the author of your book of life.
It is time for me to pick up my pen and write
my own chapters.
I am the author of my book of life.
