When the sunlight ends early
And twilight follows
Close,
Grab a book and dive into vast
Worlds where anything
Goes.
Immerse yourself into the realms
Where magic is the
Norm
And ride the wings of imagery
All night into the
Morn.
Note: I just had to share (with permission, of course) the absolute delight of this photo of my grand-niece and grand-nephews so utterly absorbed in their books. A bookworm myself, I’ve spent many an evening immersed in reading. Still do. It shaped my life. This gift that keeps on giving offers riches that all the money in the world cannot, and I am so so heartened to see it in children. I hope you read. I hope you read to your children. Your children may well follow your lead, and love of reading is a ‘bug’ well worth ‘catching.’

Thank you! Yes, we’re a family of bookworms, and apparently it is ‘genetic’ … (or, at the very least, ‘environmentally acquired’!) 🙂

Thank you, Dale! Aren’t they delicious!??!!! It is one of my favorite things, to see people read, and especially to see children read. These three provide such a powerful image content-at-the-moment-while-safe-and-snug-at-home-with-loved-ones that I just had to share it! 🙂 xxoo Love these kiddos and their parents! …
