I am a bibliophile, a lover of books.
Books give a new meaning to humanity.
They bring forth true friends, true love, and true meaning.
They give us lives filled with adventure and mystery
They are an escape to all,
mending the soul and the mind with just a few simple words.
They will make us cry and they will make us sing.
They keep hearts beating and they leave traces of hope.
Some may say I waste my days,
that one day I will wither away with my books,
You see there is no such thing as an ending,
just pages not read, by a lover of books.
