The joys of reading

As a small child my closest friends 
were hardcovers and paperbacks.

I would meet them at the library or bookstore.

Become acquainted with them through their front covers, reading bits and pieces.

Each one held a new adventure
a new person to meet
and new ending.

And always new beginnings.

I touched the spine of the books in my library and would whisper,

"Hello, old friend."
