The Written Word

There is nothing like the written word

to ease life's daily worries

its gentle carress lulls your mind

and gives no need to hurry

It can lift you from the darkest mood

and let your spirits fly

It opens the imagination

and makes you laugh when you could cry

The saddest thing that you can see

is a book that's never opened

for a book is like a river wild

adventure's always 'round the bend.
