Books...
They raised me
They taught me all I wanted to know
They taught me about the world
About science, the birds and the bees
And they told me stories
That gave me an imagination
That helps me write now

Books...
My escape
When I’m lonely
And my mind is too jumbled to write
I pick up a book
And I’m not Erica anymore
I’m whoever I want to be
And wherever I want to be

Books...
My best friends
When family and friends betray
My books are there
And they will always be there
When I’m sad, they comfort me
When I’m lonely, they’re always there
Books... my life

All I can say to this is "Amen"!! That's what books have meant to me, too! Nicely written by the way

Thanks, Salooma! I think a lot of people feel the same.

Very Nicely Stated!

I hope you are working
on your first book.
We all look forward to reading it.

One of the great things about the forum
is we can't see the covers,
only the true content.
And you are already a solid novel.
