A Word In a Book
A WORD IN A BOOK
No book is written with one word
No matter how vital it may appear
For that, we carefully have to think
Every word for the book is so dear.
A verb, an adjective, a noun one may be
That describes what we are and do
Or he is a period, a colon, or a comma
That emphasis puts and gives us a clue.
Each of us a meaningful role plays
In life’s voluminous book, sublime
In the chapter titled “Humanity.”
In the paragraph of space and time.
None of us more significant must feel,
From the other words next in line
Regardless of how trivial they may seem
It is them that our functions define.
Our gratitude to all words around us
At every instance, we have to show,
For without their valuable presence
We would never be able to glow.
What kind of a word “king” would be
What sort that of a “general” of glory
If “subjects” and “soldiers” were not there
To assist them in writing their story?
