The Novel of a Lifetime
The preface to a lifetime
With it, it now begins
A story so intriguing
We must see how it ends
Chapter One, makes it fun
As budding youth unfurls
A growing child taking steps
Exploring brand new worlds
Chapter Two takes us through
The time it which he speaks
Broken words mumbled through
The cutest little cheeks
Chapter Three, it’s then we see
A young boy in the making
Learning things and tasting life
No lesson worth forsaking
Chapter Four, with it brings more
Of growing, moving, learning
But deep inside of him we see
A man’s desire burning
Chapter Five, the more he strives
To make differences we can see
To become the man, he knows he can
The one his father hoped he’d be
Chapter Six, life plays tricks
Challenges can be varied
So love he finds, to help him out
It’s then the man is married
Chapter Seven, a touch of heaven
His wife gives him a child
And with their love, he now looks back
The memories make him smile
Chapter Eight, the final state
In which his novel ends
But with it brings another book
For his Son’s just begins
