"Your Book Of Life"
Life is a book, which begins with a name
The titles may vary, but the author’s the same
He plans out our lives, so far in advance
Always knowing our destiny, leaving nothing to chance
For one day he said, “A book I must start”
He titled it “Casey”, and wrote from his heart
He gave it to me, to care for and read
But the pages were empty, what more does he need
Then one special day, these words did appear
“I give you this baby, to love while she’s here”
As a daughter, you’re part of my soul
A piece of the puzzle, which makes me whole
As a sister, there’s a place in your heart
That brings you together, even when you’re apart
As a friend, when no one would care
Through the good times and bad, you are always there
Sometimes I forget, that the years have gone by
So I turn back the pages, I laugh and I cry
Remembering the moments, which brought you this far
I couldn’t be prouder, of the woman you are
“Your Book Of Life” starts, a new chapter today
Filling pages with memories, along the way
When God writes, “The End”, it’s time to review
All the words that he wrote, all the things that he knew
With the nod of his head, and the stretch of his hand
He’ll say, “Welcome my daughter, to my holy land”.
