Once You Open Up A Book

Once you open up a book, you'll be surprised at what you'll see.

Some people love them while other's find that it's not their cup of tea.

Books aren't always filled with facts that could make you fall asleep.

But they contain paragraphs that may send you into a devastating weep.

Books take you to another world, I'm sure you'd understand.

And you'd probably know their even better with a warm Milo in your hand.

The best thing about books is they're an entry from the author's point of view.

Maybe once you read a couple you'll begin to love them too.

Whether you like sci-fi, love, drama, romance, war or history.

There's bound to be a book for you, just you wait and see.

Some people believe your health will improve if you have an apple a day.

But I believe a page each day will help your brain in an extraordinary way.
