I will continue to treasure my books every day
To admire them all on display
There gilted titling on colourful covers and spines
There beautiful designs that seem to come to life
To cherish my most precious book
To hold it in my hands and connect to the story and characters
Escaping into another world as
You gently turn each page
Feeling the books own unique history
The smell of the old pages and print
Books are our history, present and our future
Without them the world would be a very sad place indeed

Very nice poem and I like the photo.

I am following you via Whimsical Wednesday. I agree there is nothing like a hard back book. I also like the electronic version to. Your blog is very cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of printed books myself. I'm having a hard time jumping on the kindle bandwagon.
