No matter what else you are doing,
From cradle days through to the end,
You are writing your life's secret story
Each day sees another page penned.

Each month ends a thirty-page chapter,
Each year means the end of a part.
And never an act is misstated
Not even one wish of the heart.

Each day when you wake, the book opens,
Revealing a page clean and white.
What thoughts and what words and what doings
Will cover its pages by night?

God leaves that to you, you're the writer
And never a word shall grow dim,
Till the day you write the word "Finish"
And give your Life's Book back to Him.
