Books

In a book of pages Are written words and phrases Lines that can make you laugh Lines that can make you cry Lines that make you want to live Or lines that make you die As your eyes engage Each and every page You are captured by the essence Of past, future, present. 13/12/14

Yes, so true! I can't imagine life without books. Hope you're well and having a good weekend. Not one snowflake here, but I bet it still looks beautiful there, even though it's mostly melted.
