For the Love of Books

You open up the jacket cover New adventures to discover Every page paints a picture Makes your heart beat that much quicker Words that light up your imagination Or take you to the darkest places A word can spark a conversation A book can start a revolution More powerful than a sword or bullet Often quoted from a pulpit Fairy tales and works of fiction and biographies of famous people characters that jump from the pages good books speak to people of all ages they can break your heart or lift your soul describe a journey from pole to pole I do hope they have books in heaven As it would be hell, without them
