My Books

I love my books.
They are the homes
Of queens and fairies,
Knights and gnomes.

Each time I read, I make a call
On some quaint person, large or small,
Who welcomes me with hearty hand,
And leads me through his wonderland.

Each book is like
A city street
Along whose winding
Way I meet
New friends and old who laugh and sing,
And take me off adventuring!
