Books-A love poem/Hour 7

Books were my friend
when I was a little girl
They taught me things
and kept my loneliness at bay
Books never bullied me
nor did they call me names
Books never said I didn’t belong
or I was too young to play
Instead, they held my hands and
took me to lands so far away
They shared with me their secrets
and made me laugh as well
They showed me the world was scary
but I was safe with them
They spoke to me of tragedy
but said hope still lives
They taught me different customs,
cultures and histories galore
When I was with Books
I could never say I was bored
This is my ode to Books
my friend that stayed true
That soothes me when I’m feeling frazzled
And grounds me when I’m sad
To this day I can’t imagine
my life without Books
