Lost in a Book

There’s nothing like

Getting lost in the

pages of a book.

In a book you can

Explore a new place,

See the world through

Someone else’s eyes,

Fall into a characters story.

In a book you can find

Sympathy, empathy,

You can find suspense

And drama

You can find characters

Who in real life could be

Your worst enemy

Or your best friend.

You can find yourself

Turning page after page

Anticipating what happens next.

You can find you were right

Or wrong.

In a book you can get lost

But you can find you, maybe

The you you’d like to be.

In a book that will end

And then you will be sad

The story is over,

But then you will find your

Next adventure

In a book.

Time

Time moves fast

Time moves slow

But there’s always

60 seconds in a minute

Always 24 hours in a day

There’s never enough time

But always the same time

We often waste time

Finding ways to fill time

That don’t matter to us

Until we run out of time

Then we lament

“I need more time”

Or

“Where did the time go?”

Forgetting how we wished it away

Or filled it unwisely

How precious is time
