AUTOBIOGRAPHY

There’s one book worth reading…. 
We don’t have to write it, but that 
book would be really worth reading. 

It’s our Autobiography. Then again, 
It would be really worth writing. Give it 
a title for starters. You can revise it. 

Where were you born? 
Where have you been? 
Where did you hope to go? 

Whom have you met? 
Best days? Worst days? 
10 top things than changed you. 

10 top things you have learned. 
10 top books you have read. 
10 top surprises that surprised you. 

10 gifts you never expected.
10 twists and turns.
10 persons who changed your life.

Sit down at your computer. 
Pick up your pen. Get a 
spiral note book and write. 

For whom? For yourself. 
Then picture yourself reading 
it in your old age. Wow God! 

It’s for yourself, but picture 
your great granddaughter, 
finding it 3 years after you’re gone.
