Growing up
When we kids said
“IM BOARD”
our parent’s reply
“Read a GOOD BOOK”
Escaping to the pages for
adventure and delight
I was hooked.
A life time of reading
Excitement and anticipation.
Open the doors of
Barns and Noble
The smell of new books
permeates the air.
Close your eyes
Breath!
The quest for
Wisdom
One can learn
Anything
from a Book
The endless
Possibilities
Knowledge
Once obtained
No man can take
From you.
Paper back, hard back or
Leather bound
Text books
My favorite
Run your hand down her spine
Slowly open to feel
The ease at which
She presents her
Secrets.
The more difficult
The subject matter
The more rewarding
When you crack
Her inner truth.
That
Ah ha moment
When you grasp
The concepts
At the very foundation.
The day we stop
Seeking, Learning
Growing
Is the day
We die.
Have you read a
GOOD BOOK
LATELY !
I taught post secondary education at a technical school . 9 subjects. A two year AS Degree. I loved teaching. Helping single mother’s have a better life and career. Knowledge is a powerful tool.
