how we are the authors of our fairytales…the protagonists in our play.
How ‘neath the different colors of our covers…

Once upon a time there was a young girl,
who loved books where words would whirl, swirl and twirl.
It all began when she was just tiny,
just a baby and life was sunshiny.

A Novel Idea
...I was an avid, lifelong book lover, and I could read forever and a day,
Like the pleasing, scented lilacs, always and forever blooming in May.
Though my house was very disorganized, I would read ...

Old Books
...One from the 1850s,
I bought it from a Scotsman thrifty,
on the windswept Isle of Skye,
its browning cover caught my eye,
old paper that’s weathered to tan,
each leaf thick and dry in my hands,

Lost In Wonder and Delight

The Magical Library
...ee, it is the library, said mom
It is here, known as the books' kingdom
You can choose a book, we shall read it together
Then we shall take another one when we will be over
I was overjoyed, especially when we visited it the second time

For she had things to buy, things like rice and bread
I sat at a table, looking as cute as any seven year old
I sat with a book of car...
