Books

Science fiction, fantasy
Biography and mystery
Books are gateways to the past
to experience the slow and the fast
to enter worlds that never die
to have not a care in your life
Books let you see
what others only dream
They teach you numbers and swords
Books teach and tell, and show and say
who knows what I'll learn today?

I love this poem. I will use it for years to come and hang it on my wall. ~Mrs. Ward
