Poem: Book Lessons

By: Emily B.

Through books I learned a way of life,

A way to think and dream

Through books I learned that a life without love,

Is hardly even living

Through books I learned that anyone,

Can be a hero and can fight

Through books I learned the meaning,

Of standing up for what is right

I found my inner beauty

And the power in my words

I discovered whole new places

And that even quiet people are heard

Books taught me that fear,

is the only thing I should be afraid of

And taught me that the ones we love,

Will never truly leave us

Weird is wonderful

Bold is beautiful

But love is not based on appearance.
