In pages worn and stories old,
Lies wisdom deep and tales untold,
A world unseen by naked eyes,
Where dreams take flight and spirits rise.

Through every line and every verse,
We traverse realms, the universe,
From ancient scrolls to modern prose,
A journey where the mind freely goes.

In books, we find the keys to doors,
Of empathy, and so much more,
Each character, a friend or foe,
Reveals the hearts we long to know.

So let us read, and thus we gain,
The knowledge vast, the joy, the pain,
For in each book, a life unfolds,
A treasure chest of stories told.
