Analysis of Book 67- The Book of Life
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The newest book is written
On your heart and in your mind
But it was written long ago
Before the dawn of time
The words are always faithful
And they’re true and they are right
But you will never find them
Till you step into the light
The mysteries that were once concealed
Have been revealed to you
So now go out and share it
This is what you ought to do
Write what you are given!
Share what you have written!
