Poem Title:
Poem
I heard it so many times, “Books are man’s best friends,” Not just that I wrote an essay of 300 words in my secondary school, Yes I read it in the book, ‘How to write impressive and ideal essays?’ Honestly speaking, it was out of no choice, As the other topics were difficult to attempt. I grew up thinking, “Reading would never be my cup of tea,” And it held true for many years to be. I would see people around, glued to books and deriving pleasure, Also it was my father’s favourite activity in times of leisure. During college I had the company of passionate readers, In their discussion on books I was just a listener. They often would talk about new and fascinating book they had come across. But somehow didn’t much bother and I dint assume it be a great loss. Deep in my heart I had planted a seed, One day even I should develop a habit to read. I have to admit I had even put, ‘Reading’ as my hobby in my C.V, For it is considered to be an imposing quality. I joined a school as a teacher, I had to read stories to children, I considered it to be a part of my job though found them somewhat interesting, Still didn’t take it very seriously and found it to be alarming, Until I got married and when my husband was not there, I had lots of time to spare, I don’t how and why I picked up a book, It made me smile and I was happy for the decision I took. I learnt innumerable things from the books I read, ‘Hats off’ to all those writers my heart said. Then I realize that in books’ company one never feels lonely, I am convinced for it’s the best hobby undoubtedly. Finally it has happened to me and I am glad, I owe it to my school and students I have had.
