A Book Poem by ibukun sobande

Love is the essence of my being
and the third best thing i love are books
cos the pleasures of a good book is like heaven on earth

For what else can open up new worlds to you
or present old things in powerful and touching new ways?
who else allows you to take and take without expecting a thing in return?

Through books, i have lived hundreds of lives in my life time
experiencing the joys and hurts of others through the eyes of my mind
and somehow these lifes are made a part of my own

For the love of reading
i would gladly ford rivers and climb mountains
my friend read a book and so build your mind and life.
