I HAVE A DREAM

I sit in quiet

Amongst shelved books;

All around me

Wherever I look.

 

Patient friends

All waiting turns

To be the next

Place I learn.

 

Never complaining,

Simple beauty adorn

Though others shabby

And even torn.

 

Each has a story

So willing to share;

Sitting on my shelves,

Patiently there.

 

How to choose

Which is next?

The task of choosing

Seems quite complex.

 

I have a dream!

A fanciful hope

That before I die

I read each book.

 

And time marches on

I know not what will transpire. 

I live simply each day

Because someday I’ll expire.

 

And my books will live on.

My notes other will see.

No charge for my comments!

They are always free.

 

Thank You God for all the research scholars do to write such amazing books.

Thank You God that I have been privileged to read.

Thank You God for every book I own.

And most especially, Thank You for Your astounding Scriptures; THE GREATEST BOOK EVER DICTATED!

 

GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE BOOKS TO READ!
