You look at it a little different than I do. I see each day as a blank piece of paper to write my story on and it is up to me how to write it to make it worthwhile. If I choose to write of sunshine and butterflies and teach my children to look for creation, then so be it. If I have an awful day, well, that's just not worth writing.

I love that second verse:

Those who have know passion wrote the book.

Thought provoking and rings true. I want to write a book someday like you did.

I think it all has to be written because the good and the bad together is what builds ones character. Wonderful poem.

Strong statement in a very short piece. I almost missed the significance, but then I started to think....
