“Life’s Book”


Have you ever wanted to peek?
At your life ahead that you seek,
Just to look and see.
How your life will be.

Maybe we could prepare.
And be ready when we get there.
Just to see what the future would hold,
At the end when we grow old.

All I want is just one very small look.
To see within my life’s book.
I just want to know.
Where in fact my life might go,

Will I always be looking back?
Wondering will I fall off of this track?
Or will things in the end be.
The way I imagine to a degree.

You see some have come to believe.
The life ahead that we receive,
It’s already written within your life’s book.
That everyone has their own handbook.

You see for many years it has been told,
That from the time of our birth till we grow old.
It is within that book from happiness to the strife,
Our destiny is all written within that book of life.

Now is it asking way too much?
Just to be able to hold that book and touch.
Just to feel it within my hands and take one peek.
To see if in fact I find what it is that I seek.

One day YOU will see into your book.
Standing before the man who doesn't have to look.

Yes, I often wanted to have a sneak peek, too.

Love that poem.

Thanks for sharing.

Awww but by then I would have in fact lived the story and no longer would have the desire to sneak a peek within those pages.

For sure just to have a peek to see how life would be within a moment and time within the future. And well hopefully it is a peek at a time life is fulfilling.

Ya know, I once met a woman who read the end of a book first to decide if she wanted to read the whole book.

For me, I enjoy being with the development of the characters, cheering them on or commiserating with their bad choices and feeling pride in their accomplishments. Guessing what will happen next, honing my skills for attention to details and little hints given.

To me, life is a lot like that. Plus, I like to think there are blanks in that book that are written with the ink of our very own blood, sweat, and tears.

all the time,good write

Even though we want to look in fact deep within we don't want to loose the anticipation of what tomorrow will bring our way.

True,, Yet just the thought of a quick peek,,,,

a wonderful "pondering" write


That peek you seek
effects change in your present and future
leading to perhaps
a different end that was
sought when one first
took that peek.

Freewill or Predestination?

I know in my case, it's in my nature to be curious. I often wonder what would have been done differently if one could have peeked early in their life. Being human involves making mistakes and I think, for many of us...the mistakes offered the best chance of learning and appreciating what's to come.

Thanks for making me ponder.
