poem ~ everybody's book

Everybody's got a blank page in their book, The choice is yours as to what are you writing on it.
Everybody's got a line in their book, That makes everyone cry buckets of tears.
Everybody's got a paragraph in their book, Where suspense is great and fear is horrific.
Everybody's got a book filled with lots of people, Some who add value and some who take away.
Everybody's got a chapter in their book, That they wished didn't exist.
Everybody's got a section in their book, Where they had lack and then they had plenty.
Everybody's got a portion in their book, Filled with sadness and beauty.
Everybody's got a book that has had all seasons, Some are just longer then others.
Everybody's got a chance to close out their manuscript, With the author of life under their name.
Everybody's got the ability to use whiteout or an eraser, So they can start over.
Everybody's got a book with a purpose, The question is what is yours?
Everybody's got the same chance to write a book, The question is how much effort will you put into yours?
Everybody's got the same chance to be the hero of their own story, The question is will you be yours?
Everybody's got a blank page in their book, The question is how many do you have left in your book?
