Life is a book
Each chapter has a different look.
Chapter one
Laughter and happiness
Served like a prince or princess
Loved by all
Watch out! He is going to fall
Hugged and kissed
Spoiled and blessed.
Chapter two
Sent to school carrying a wee tool
Lunch basket
Full of sweets and biscuits
That's cool
Go to bed
His father said
He started to cry
In his bed hiding his tears and sigh.
Wake up boy
His mother shouted
Don't play with that toy.
Chapter three
Happy birthday to you
You turned twenty
Set free
Enjoy your life with Betty
Chapter four
Getting married
Heavy burden to be carried
Work and feed
Rely on yourself
You are not a kid
Struggle with the unknown
So what if you are alone.
Spoiling your child
He doesn't mind.
Till he grows
Teaching him moral laws.
Chapter six
Getting retired
Going back home feeling tired.
You and Betty are alone again.
Sickness and fatigue
Chapter seven
Rest in Peace
Chapter eight
You started life with
Laughter and happiness
Ended it up with
Tears and sadness.
Look!
That's the end of the book.
