One day a book
Wanted to see
What else it could be.

A flock of birds
Soaring high
Above you and me

A wild pony
Running fast
Through golden sand

A towering dragon
Looking hungry
In a faraway land

Garden flowers
Growing slowly
In the sunlight

A shooting star
Flashing brightly
Through the night

A fir tree
Packed with snow
One wintery day

A black umbrella
Opening wide
To keep the rain away

A winding train
Chugging merrily
Along in motion

A fancy fish
Swimming solo
In the deep blue ocean

A furry kitten
Purring loudly
In a reader’s lap

A tired turtle
Closing its eyes
For a nap

A wise child
Imagining stories
By the sea

“Ah” thought the Book
“Being me
Is the best thing to be!”
