Smooth and rough it's all the same
Thick and thin short and tall
bringing love and sometimes pain
lots of fun when you hit a wall
and when outside is nothing but rain
but often forgotten on the shelf
under the bed or propping the door
when inside is hidden a lifetime of wealth
adventures, romances and all sorts of lore
secrets of improvement and health
how easily we forget what teaches us most
and the joy found in pages unturned
instead we move on to things dry as toast
losing sight of what we once yearned
instead of experiencing the deep just standing on the coast
novels, magazines, pamphlets and chronicles
are treasures meant to be spent
not buried under ground or forgotten like barnacles
so pick one up ladies and gents'
and perhaps you'll learn something anatomical!
hahaha anatomical... yeah, all I could think of to rhyme with it. But seriously, I've had a hard time remembering how much I love books so here is a fun little reminder that as busy as life gets we all have time to better ourselves with a little reading. And yes, i think it is a betterment. Besides, isn't there a General Authority that reads a novel every week? I think we have something to learn from General Authorities.. just saying'.
