A Person

You come across a book you haven't read

the cover is bent and the pages are torn

this book looks worn

but the story is deep and worth reading slow

this story is one you should know

this book and that book are all alike

they want to be held and loved and cared for

they are not just a cover, or a chapter or a single page

they are so much more

when you find a new book you want to listen to the core

find the voice and the heart and search real deep

there is goodness and hope in everyone we meet
