Books Like People.

Goldfinch60



You may read them constantly;

They give you joy,

They give you wisdom.

You can laugh,

You can cry,

As the words on the page

Cause the emotions

To stir within you.

 

The same emotions

Flow through you

With people in your life;

As the words they say,

Or the words left unsaid,

Bring you sadness,

Or joy.

 

Both can help in your lives,

As either of them

Can arrive in your life,

When you most need them.

              The old saying "I can read you like a book" pops into my head as I read this delightful poem. Sharing through both the the written word and personal experience broadens our horizons in so many ways. Once again you've chosen a gem of a video. Ella is one of my favorite vocalists, such a smooth, beautiful voice, I could listen all day. Thank you for this pick-me-up dear Andy, words and music!

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you Bella, my pleasure,

                I too like Ella, I have most of her albums and I say to people she could sing a telephone directory and it would still sound wonderful.

                  Books truly are our best friends, always there to help soothe the emotional turmoil in our heads.

                  • Goldfinch60
