Reading

READING Always have a book at hand, In the parlor, bedroom and loo. Condensed thought on paper, This is the world for you. My daughter loves to read, Must have something to hold. No cover or pages, Not even a center fold. Electronic books these days, For the person on the go. Flip it on for convenience, Living color, like a show. Reading can entertain, Delight the lonely heart. Those without education condemn it, The learned ones tear it apart. The many pieces of the written word, Bring light to those in the dark. Challenge the mind of the curious, Give your life a spark. No entertainment is so cheap, No pleasure lasts as long. Your mind flies o'er the pages, The words are like a song. The love of reading, Challenges the soul. Nothing else given to man, Can make one whole. There are those who read, To know what the world has done. Others to enhance their personal life, To be the brightest one. RAYMOND V. MORGAN Master Sergeant, USAF - Retired
