Journalist Of Life

Journalist Of Life

From the moment you breath your first breath

Your story begins to be told

Till the moment you meet with death

The pages will simply unfold

You may not have written it all in a diary

To savour the best of it all

Listed things under the heading "enquiry"

Easy to find and re-call

See, the story writes regardless of you

Words on invisible pages

Everything you cause or you say or do

All the steps and stages

Someone is listening and taking note

Your wishes are not unheard

Thoughts you have simply up and they float

And feelings fly high like a bird

Great achievements and painful regrets

Recorded in their full glory

All the times you ever edged your bets

Form part of the "personal story"

Each time you love or show your hate

It all becomes part of the record

Sometimes life can be driven by fate

But steer it with your own accord

Give Love and care as best you can give

Don't carry the burden of hate

Do your best and have a reason to live

And strive for a peaceful state

Just keep the pages writing strong

Give them something to note

Prove your adversaries they're all wrong

And wear your technicoloured coat

Life is a book so fill the pages

You’re a journalist of your own life

Absorb and reflect on all the stages

For the observant the signs are rife!

Life has taught us that things are dual

For every good there’s a bad

There is just one important rule

For your life you must always be glad!
