Books, you embrace me with
your loveable words.
I carry you in my backpack and
take you out when there's free time.
I open your cardboard body covered
in beautiful tattoos.
Your words turn into images
that run through my head.
Books, when i'm reading your stories
my body feels warm and safe
like a mother holding her child.
You give me the feeling
to want more.
I read all your brothers and sisters
from kid books to adult books
all of them make me feel the same.
My life isn't complete without you.
I Love You Books.
