Books--Windows To Life
I have within my small abode
A collection of books,
A library,
A retreat from the daily life I lead.
The books that I read leave a vision in me
Of places now far, far away.
If I could paint, a picture I'd leave
Of places I've been to and dwelt.
England, Russia, Germany, France,
The words, they draw me in
To places I have never been,
But books have drawn me in.
Am thankful for the ones who write
Both now and in the past.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
And teach me things I do not know
My knowledge now increased.
Books are a window for the mind
Just open and see what is about.
A garden, field, a cottage fair
And people gathered there.
Again I thank the authors all
Who bring this all to me.
I'm the one who's better off,
Again I thank you all.
