Love For Reading

Sheila loved reading about forensics and dinosaurs that once flew She adored non-fiction, biographies, mysteries, UFO stories too What kind of a mother will she be? Asked her cousin Strange Lou. The kind who showed intelligence, a lifelong learner, tis true. Her husband was amazed at how many books Sheila would read. She studied manuals and cookbooks, as her family did feed. Why does Mommy love books so? Her youngest asked, her name was May It gives her excitement, said her oldest daughter, a reader, named Fay. The family knew that Sheila would never go hungry for a book. They were hidden in her cupboards, under the sink, and in a nook. Sheila never stopped learning, she knew more than a PhD. I know about Sheila because she is the woman who raised little ole me.
