Books can be amazing things. They teach us things. They entertain us. They can be life changing. I know they aren’t for everyone but many a bibliophile would back me up that the books that touch our hearts are friends for life. They are there when life is hard and there when life is great and an ever-constant friend through it all. Exactly what a good friend should be. ❤
Some of the greatest friends I have
Were found in a simple book.
They kindly took me by the hand –
And together we had a look.
Orphaned girls without a home,
And princesses at heart,
And wagons loaded up with goods
As we made a brand-new start.
Families living in a tree
With furniture made of wood,
Cousins living in Vermont
Who now are understood.
And many more who’s hearts touched mine
As their stories crossed my path.
They showed me how to live my life
And gave me all they hath.
And while I merely read their words,
And wasn’t there in life,
They’ll always be my best of friends
Through the good and through the strife
Because some of the greatest friends I have
Were found in a simple book,
When they kindly took me by the hand
And together we had a look.
