In the book of my life, a page must be filled
With memories of joy and moments of thrill
There are chapters of laughter and of tears
Some moments of triumph and times to fear
Life's journey has taken me far and wide
Through the valley low and mountain high
I've met kind people; few think I’m a foe
But each encounter is a lesson to know
The characters are the people I have met
Each played a part and left a lasting effect
Some walked beside me, some left behind
But all have shaped me, in heart and mind
Through the twists and turns, I have grown
To embrace the odds, to let my spirit shown
With each trial and every test, I must endure
To make me strong and make my spirit pure
Nonetheless, my book of life is my life’s tale
With each and every moment, I must not fail
For all the lessons learned, with all its glory
