A Box of Books

While cleaning out the attic I Recently discovered A box full of long forgotten books. Time had not been kind to this find As the covers were dusty and the pages had lost Their newly printed pristine luster. Despite obvious imperfections In this aging collection Of perennial prose and poetic writings From childhood days, I suddenly found myself Transported there before turning The first page.

Hello "Chici" she's doing better and I'm heading back to Egypt in a few days ( I work in Alexandria). It's where I do most of my best writing and hope to get back to my routine next week. Thanks for reading. [email protected] :)Terry
