Each page turning.
Each word churning.

Each chapter read.
Before I go to bed.

Opens up a new world.
So that I'm never bored.

What's in a book?
Is it the look?

Or the taste of the words.
Or the feel of the pages.

A book takes life
through various stages.

To me a book teaches.
To me a book preaches.

A book takes me where I want to go.
A book is my best friend you know.
