Amidst laughter and tears, the book unfolds,
A journey through time, memories it holds
Emotions woven in a tapestry so fine,
Characters dance, their destinies align
With every page turned, a mix of delight,
And fragments of sorrow, dark and bright
The characters' tears will touch your heart,
Their stories entwine, never to part
At the mid-point, you pause and reflect,
Stories that endure, and moments select
A long strained relationship, resilient it stays,
Love's last drops linger in hopeful arrays
One day, the final page shall appear,
Handing your book to one who holds near
The embers of markings and questions amassed,
Shadows of tales from the past
Life, a journey, a ride with twists and turns,
Side by side, with each moment that churns
You celebrate another birthday, while you roam,
Every page unfolds a new place to call home
