Used Books

Used
Cover to cover
Hands of men and women
Page by page
Each word is read
Each line is used
Another lesson is learned
Another story is lost
Enjoyed by one
Then tossed aside
Only to be done again by the next
This book wants a home
This book needs a keeper
If not the cycle continues
This book will ware away
Just to be something it wasn't
If this book finds no retreat
Burn it, please.
Take my book, it needs your love
