Reading
For as long as I remember
I've always loved to read
It didn't really matter what
It all fulfilled a need
A good love story warmed my heart
I traveled through time with history
The comic pages made me laugh
And I always loved a good mystery
Through the pages of books I have traveled
Across oceans and deserts I've roamed
I've not spent a dime on my journeys
And I just close the book to come home
I get to meet famous people
And though I've never set foot in a college
Every book that I read will help me succeed
To expand in wisdom and knowledge
I must say though I do have a favorite
Tis the greatest book I believe ever written
For treasures untold as the stories unfold
It speaks volumes to those who will listen
Its a little of everything rolled into one
Humor, mystery, history and love
All written by one single author
Our glorious Creator above
Someday I might too be an author
I'll never know lest I try
But regardless of whether I'm published
I'll still love to read till i die
