I have seen a million starts
I have watched as many people died
I was there when they started
I looked on through wars and death

I am hardly noticed, but sorely missed
When I am found, I am tossed casually in
But removed with care
Through this all, I have remained

Through the death and life
Through tears and joy
Through seasons
Through time itself

And through it all, I remember
I remember the bitterest starts
The heartfelt ends
The journey between

For I am a bookmark
And I have watched
As heroes rose
And wolves were slain

I have watched it all
And remembered all
And will always be there
Watching the pages turn

And watching the stories unfold behind and in front of me
For I am a bookmark.
