What if I read to you a story,
Starting, "Once Upon a Time";
And you realised that it was your life ,
Spelt out on every line.
Would you hear my voice with wonder,
As it brushed across each word;
And pray my arms had strength to hold,
The truth about your world.
Would your view on life be different,
And would it shock you most to find;
That the things you thought defined you,
Could be summed in just two lines.
And all the ones you took for granted,
The ins and outs of every day;
Play a bigger part in who you are,
Than you'd ever dared to say.
Would you wonder at the pages left,
And all the places that they'll lead;
Then vow to make each moment,
One that you'd be proud to read.
Because there is a story of your life,
But it's you that holds the pen;
And I hope you fill the pages right,
Before you reach the end.......
