Reading

To read is to explore,
no matter what you're reading for,
a million places you can go,
somewhere you might not even know.

A way to travel is to read,
a nice vacation if it's what you need,
a place to go and get away,
when home is where you just can't stay.

To find an escape just use your mind,
you never know what you will find,
just imagine reading as a movie picture,
and you'll be somewhere new for sure.
