Our bodies are dust covers
Concealing what lies beneath
Each one special —distinct
***
Some thicker than others
A few come in a series
A story, an epic — unknown
***
Crack open your book to start an adventure
Travel to a distant land
Walk on beaches with hot white sand
***
Laugh, scream, cry along
Then, curl up — to read it again
Each page shows a different view
***
Taking you to a world far away
Magic in the words — every day
What a precious way to repay
***
Repay and honor a past you lived
Reading a life upon pages
Telling a story for the ages
You Lil Dickens
