Eternal

 Little bit of advice

goes far throughout life, 

for I don't know the why

but I lost track of time.

Confused with the memory

I traced all the stars in the sky, 

wondering what it all meant

and if you ever were mine?

~

The book of life is short

and the words given in accord, 

in chapters along the way

that reveals what each day has in

store.

Turning the last of the pages,

tired and as tired as I can be,

I think about the path traveled

and what each character meant

to me. 

Sometimes it all made sense

and other times I didn't understand,

but it was the last words spoken

that I'll remember for all eternity.
