A poem from age 14

Life is a story growing older,
Ever older, as I grow with it.
All my values, all my fears,
All my gladness through the years.
Life’s the story that has told it.
Love and Hope is how I lived it.
Faith and Grace from God above,
Yes, I made it through because of Love.

Joy and Peace for which I searched,
Security that I needed like a tired bird a perch.
Any branch would have done,
What I needed was som fun.
Life is a true story, no fairy tale here.
Unknown, only make-believe is known far and near.
Why do I darken this blank page?
To tell life the story that goes on age after age.
