Books

Books hold the answers to all the questions,
to all the things in between
When feeling alone, scared, restless or curious
An antidote can be found in the words on the page

A strong willed child, al discouraged mother,
books can uplift and guide us 

A lesson from those less fortunate
can restore and unthankful spirit
Open out eyes to the lives 
and struggle of others.

Take our mind a world away
to ponder 
Imagine things never seen

We are never alone within the pages of a book
stores live on 
knowledge continues imprinted on our hearts
