I wonder why the books today
Aren't thrilling like the one's I read
When I was but a growing girl;
At night with blankets over head.

My mother said 'twas time for bed
And I would climb in right away;
Eager to read the pages that
I had no time for in the day.

We had no television then,
No other way the world to know.
The words would whisk me from the sheets
To places I had longed to go.

Then little sister would complain.
The light was keeping her awake.
I'd close the book, still longing for
The trips I thought I'd never make.

I've traveled since that long ago,
Far distances by car and plane.
The sights I've seen cannot compare
To reading under counterpane.

We can travel anywhere between the covers of a book! Well done, Joyce! You brought back a memory or two for me!
