Today i need an
Old friend
I will revisit
My childhood friends
Mother Goose  Curious George
Fairy Tales  Ferdinand
Mike the Steam Shovel
Madeline Good Night Moon
And so many more
The pictures  the rhythm
These books lift me up
Put a smile on my face
Thinking of my mom
Or dad sharing a story with me
These books were the mortar
For my foundation of reading
And building my own words
Into a poem
