A Story Book

Write in the Park Day 06

A story book is like a ship
that sails the deep blue seas
through calm waters, ferocious storms
on a voyage you will be

A story book is like a train
that goes on endless tracks
up the mountains, down the gullies
you won't be coming back

A story book is like an eagle
that brings you up the sky
to look at people down below
and see them laugh and cry

A view from my park bench

A story book is like a rabbit
that burrows down a hole
through places dark and dangerous
where mysteries unfold

A story book is like a cure
for all your ills and woes
Whenever you need some respite
it is the place to go

So lay your hands on a story book
when you see one come your way
Feel the joy of reading it
and read one everyday.
