Countless Books Poem by Phillip H LaRochelle

While the chimes and rings of days gone by
Life can be sweet and then years just fly
To reflect on life's learning ground
Comes rushing in like the tidal sound.

To memories of sweet and bitter life brings
To everlasting life all the world sings
In a blink of an eye we both live and die
To finally rest in peace labors gone by.

In the course of a moment we may not think
But life's daily movements are recorded in sync
Books abound throughout the world
But books in the end are universally ruled.

To noted things of generations gone by
We may might learn not to die
And even though natural life may pass
Through perseverance our soul may last.

To believe in other than worldly things
One can believe in almost anything
If the mind can imagine it the body can do
What is now has been and already through.

Think not that this planet has once been restored
But that over the centuries it has many times more
To live, learn and conquer is a glorious thing
So at the end of the days we know the right thing.

What's in the Heart is the principle thing
To good or bad is where it may bring
The thoughts and desires of everyone's heart
Is the everlasting outcome of days do part.
