In my local Library a Statue of a little girl sitting on a Bench and reading a book. She has pigtails and no shoes on. It was dedicated to the Library by a Librarian who died of Heart Attack. I was inspired to write a poem about this little girl.I dedicated the poem to the Library on 1/21/05 and I would like to share this poem with you. Thank You!

Essence Of Time

Sitting on a Bench is a little girl
With pigtails and a smile so grand
Reading in awe as the pages unfurl
From The Book of Knowledge in hand

Learning eyes light up and shines
Through all pages of prose and rhyme
Reading each book of many pages
Magically taken through essence of time
