I am an avid reader
And quite the day dreamer,
Just ask any of my teachers.
I love stories.
Stories of old
Told and retold.
New stories, yet unheard.
What I love best
Is just the written word.
Some of my favorite people
Are actually fictional!
They help when I'm unreachable.
Their courage and strength,
Their ambition and tenacity
Inspire the same from me.
Some books change my life.
They pull me in
And shake off my chagrin.
So I come back
Again and again,
As often as I can.
Those are the stories
That speak to higher glories,
Get me taking inventories
And bring joy to worry.
Blindly they lead me back
To the living story!
