Not just a Book

Pages and pages
of stories being told
Not just a book
but rather a way of life
Pages and pages
of beliefs being sold
Not just a book
but rather a life manual
Pages and pages
of faith being explained
Not just a book
but rather a religious journal
Pages and pages
of religion being trained
Not just a book
but rather a Bible
Pages and pages
of words to be deciphered
Not just a book
but rather an adventure
Pages and pages
of many before us
Not just a book
but rather a documentation
of past trials and tribulations
Pages and pages
still to be wrote and fulfilled
Not just a book
but rather a romantic story
Pages and pages
of tragedy and sacrifice
Not just a book
but rather an Old Testament
Pages and pages
of massive confusion
Not just a book
but rather a great detailed history of past times before my birth from an unknown source claiming to know the whole story of God, his son and dating back before Christ
Pages and pages
from pages and pages
Not just a book
but rather a story passed down with time and rewrote to be modernized many times and yet I still to know the accuracy of translations or the hearts or minds of the ones that decided the language needing to be heard
Pages and pages
wrote to persuade us
Not just a book
but rather a tool to humble us
Pages and pages
upon pages and pages
But I rather ask him
through prayer and communication to seek the answers then rely solely

Pages of life
Kuky Singh
Aug 15
My life is full of thorns.
My life is full of twists and turns.
It's not easy to trust.
My life is drowned in the sea of tears.
My life is spent in fear.
These are the pages of life.
On some of these pages
It is written about the feeling of sadness,
And on some pages
It is written about the feeling of happiness.
Our thoughts are written on these pages of life.
If there is happiness in our thinking,
then happiness itself will be written in these pages.
There are some drops of tears on these few pages,
which have erased the happiness of the rest of the pages.
Some pages have been lost from the book of life,
because we did not understand the value of those pages.
There is dust on some pages,
Some pages are hidden in darkness,
I lost some pages.
The pages of anyone's life have not been written with a golden pen,
we make the words of those pages shine like gold.
Life is like a diamond,
we do not know the end.
We don't even know the beginning But our aim is to make life shine like a diamond.
There are some painful marks on some pages of life.
Those who will continue to give pain throughout life,
but we have to keep applying the ointment of happiness on those wounds,
And life has to make us proud.
We have to find some pages which have been lost,
they have to re-arrange in the book.
Some of our pages of life are such that we have to decorate them with beautiful thoughts.
My life is full of twists and turns.
It's not easy to trust.
My life is drowned in the sea of tears.
My life is spent in fear.
These are the pages of life.
On some of these pages
It is written about the feeling of sadness,
And on some pages
It is written about the feeling of happiness.
Our thoughts are written on these pages of life.
If there is happiness in our thinking,
then happiness itself will be written in these pages.
There are some drops of tears on these few pages,
which have erased the happiness of the rest of the pages.
Some pages have been lost from the book of life,
because we did not understand the value of those pages.
There is dust on some pages,
Some pages are hidden in darkness,
I lost some pages.
The pages of anyone's life have not been written with a golden pen,
we make the words of those pages shine like gold.
Life is like a diamond,
we do not know the end.
We don't even know the beginning But our aim is to make life shine like a diamond.
There are some painful marks on some pages of life.
Those who will continue to give pain throughout life,
but we have to keep applying the ointment of happiness on those wounds,
And life has to make us proud.
We have to find some pages which have been lost,
they have to re-arrange in the book.
Some of our pages of life are such that we have to decorate them with beautiful thoughts.
