Love of Books

My shelf of books! I love them so!

They take me where I want to go.

Adventure, deeds of every age,

Lie captured on the printed page;

Through them I hear the swish of seas,

The wind in lofty mountain trees;

Their magic brings before my gaze

Heroes of stirring, ancient days.

Here in my chair, through day or night,

They lend me wings for daring flight.

I love my shelf of books, they are

Pathways to sun…and moon…and star.
