Tuesdays will be poem of the week blogs. Some of the poems might be previously posted or from my current book – Incoherant Ramblings of an Old Man https://www.amazon.com/dp/1544222947
Others will be from my upcoming book ( Book of Life- More Ramblings from an Old Man)
This weeks poem, is the pilot piece for that book as I attempt to take you on my journey through my Life..
I am still trying to find the voice of the Backyard Poet as I move along my path. Please feel free to comment and let me know how I am doing.
Book of Life
My book of life lies open
Its final chapter waiting to be exposed
Some of my pages are torn or faded
The story has taken long so long to compose
Many who read the early lines
Moved on and shelved my book
Others were merely passing by
Sometimes to stop and take a look
Some would begin in the middle
They do not know the start
That does not mean they’re less important
Or have a smaller place in my heart
Some have found me quite by accident
While dusting off their shelves
Some stuck around and began to read
Others moved on by themselves
But you have been there since page one
My true and faithful friend
Despite all my mistakes and faults
You will read me until…THE END
You bet I will be there.
