THE STORY OF YOU by Donna Ashworth

"THE STORY OF YOU" by Donna Ashworth
She made a blue book,
with her learnings inside,
but nobody read it,
till after she died.
The wrath of her ego,
forbade her to share,
though the words she had penned,
were droplets of care.
Then one day, whilst searching,
for family clues,
her granddaughter stumbled
across the blue book.
She lost herself reading,
the dusty old tome,
and with every page turned,
felt herself coming home.
She rushed to her laptop,
and shared with the world,
these beautiful stories,
the book had unfurled.
Tales of heartbreak, endurance,
of loss and of gain,
a life full of lessons,
all free now, from shame.
The world was entranced,
by the chapters they read,
the doubt and the worry,
had been all in her head.
Her writing, a lifeboat,
to those lost at sea,
her musings, like torches,
the light made them see.
So write down your words,
in a book, red or blue,
there are many who need to read,
all you’ve been through.
And as the years pass,
and you’re gone from their view,
your pages will tell them,
the story of you.
Donna Ashworth
