Books To Read
Soiled pages, words that are blurred
Broken covers; fuzzy and furred
Small pictures; coloring all faded
So hard to reddit, so hard to date it.
Still they are books to read
Dusty and yellow; crumpled with age
Pieces and parts; torn off each page
Once they were thought of, as bright
and new
Now they are old books, to me and you
Yet they are books to read.
Mom often to ld a story about a Christmas basket that her family received that had a book in it called "The Wide, Wide World". She said it was the first book she ever had. Indeed, I found on her bookshelf a very worn but still usable copy of this book. The basket came from the First Presbyterian Church in Carbondale, PA where my parents became members.
