For me to open a book is the greatest thrill.
The wonders of knowledge not yet known
Sends chills of joy right down into my soul,
And away from my everyday life, I am gone.
A book is my guide to the world beyond.
To read of places that I may one day see
Makes me hopeful that what I endure
Is not the whole picture of what I can be.
So, I never tire of opening books in school,
Feeling so fortunate to have the chance to learn
Of the many places across the oceans and lands
That I wish to see and for which my soul yearns.
Written for What Do You See #263 from Sadje at Life After 50 for Women.
