I Am the Author of My Life
By Candace Shultz

I 

a m

t h e

a u t h o r

of my life.

I  write the

r u l e s.   I

decide   who

 will   be  the   

characters 

in  my book.

When   life

throws     a

few curves,

I  turn it into

a  plot point.

From   there

I     choose

which  path

to       take.

And  when I 

make  some

  m i s t a k e s, 

after  all  I

am    only

human,  then

I   will  use

my   eraser

and     f i x 

t  h  o s e

  m i s t a k e s, 

I can always 

begin again 

b e c a u s e 

I   am   the 

author   o f 

  m y   l i f e.
