Analysis of My Story

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)



Turning pages from the book of my story
Every year I stop not reading beyond my age
Enjoy living each day for all it's glory
Avoid rushing to go to the last page

Book of life written by you alone
A personal tale by the true author
Tells a story others can read when you're gone
Remembered how you lived to write the final chapter
