Beyond the Pages

A book is not just words on a page,

It's a door to another age,

A journey to a distant land,

A place where you can understand.

Within its pages lies a treasure,

A world beyond all measure,

A universe of thought and dream,

Where nothing is quite as it seems.

The characters within are real,

Their stories make us laugh and feel,

They show us what it means to be,

To live, to love, to strive, to see.

And in the quiet of the night,

When all the world is out of sight,

We turn to books to find our peace,

Our solace, our release.

For in a book we can be free,

We can be who we want to be,

We can explore and we can grow,

And find the things we need to know.

So let us cherish every book,

And all the worlds that they have took,

For in their pages we can find,

The keys to life, to heart, to mind.
