Letter To A Temporary Friend Poem by n. j. saroff

with love to a temporary friend
That after 379 pages came to an end
inked and wild
transporting to the world of the mind of a child
pages folded to mark our favorite spots
little notes in the corners fade into dots
each chapter a memory
for a book is a friend that's only temporary
its smooth soft cover
or hard one like no other
as the book was read a rush was felt
pulse wasn't steady and our hearts began to melt
so much to offer in this book
things we didn't expect at out first look
the adventure and places we saw
the maps and animals we later draw
inspired to read more
for just one book opens doors
here's to everyday spent together
i wont forget a single letter
it was a great time
You will always be a forever friend of mine
thank you temporary friend
for 379 pages till the very end
