Books!
Fuel for imagination,
Words cascade,
Creating waterfalls of meaning.
New places and experiences,
Brought together and shared.
Stepping stones to knowledge,
Words inform,
Illuminating science and understanding.
Explanations of the world,
Brought together and shared.
Pathways through narration,
Words guide,
Illustrating magic and wonders of thought.
Winding journeys of fantasy,
Brought together and shared.
Expression of feeling,
Words unite,
Bringing clarity and energy.
All the beauty of the world,
Brought together and shared.
Words cascade,
Creating waterfalls of meaning.
New places and experiences,
Brought together and shared.
Stepping stones to knowledge,
Words inform,
Illuminating science and understanding.
Explanations of the world,
Brought together and shared.
Pathways through narration,
Words guide,
Illustrating magic and wonders of thought.
Winding journeys of fantasy,
Brought together and shared.
Expression of feeling,
Words unite,
Bringing clarity and energy.
All the beauty of the world,
Brought together and shared.
