A Friend

A friend who never leaves us,
A friend who never betrays,
A pal who is the joy of life,
Who bestows the knowledge rays.

Time and again when we tend to be bored,
A mate to take us to a fairyland.
Here a ogre and there a fairy,
With a club or a magic wand.

Steps to the world of numbers
Poems and stories about
Biology and zoology
And history to study and pout.

One who takes us on a nature trail
Among and around a bush and a brook
One with whom we share our solitude
Is none other than a lovely BOOK
