I FELL IN LOVE WITH READING BOOKS

I fell in love with reading books,

so many years ago.

It always brought me to a high,

After an unfortunate low.

The way it helped me escape similar to how feet look when they’re trudged in the snow.

In the way that as they slowly make their way up,

You’ll have a clearer path on which way to go.

That’s what books have done for me,

guided me towards my destiny.

If I couldn’t have the solace I find in them,

I’m not sure what would be left of me.

Where did my love come from you may be wondering? Bear with me, and I will explain.

It started with a red library on West Bellfort for which I no longer can recall its name.

It’s long gone now,

but my memories of it will forever remain the same.

Thank you to my mommy who knew the importance of her kids understanding the name of a book as opposed to the rules of a game.

She’s my champion in life for many reasons,

but most importantly for teaching me to love to read

It’s what I hope to pass onto my own kids,

thank God she planted the seed.

You asked so there you have it, that’s the reason I fell in love with reading books.

I hope you decide to scope out a good one or be on the look.
