Books are there for me

My life with and without books

The moment I was alone,
I had books by my side.
No matter where I go,
Along with the books I ride.

When I was frustrated,
I think about the legends,
Legends who wrote those books,
Legends who make me love my life.

When I left my house,
I filled my bag with books.
When I spent a night on street,
Instead of blanket I got books.

When other friends denied,
I got another who don't complain or demand.
When there wasn't anyone,
Books stood by my side.

When I lost myself,
Books made me realize how far I can go,When I crossed the cuts and had wounds, books filled my wounds and encouraged me to the core.

I agree. I love books. I have many 500 books above and near me. I liked how you think and you are correct. A book is always a good friend. Thank you Farhan for sharing the excellent poetry.

Books can have a powerful effect on people, they can draw you into a world of make believe. Get you to turn the page for that 'one last chapter'. Bring out the creativity in some of us which we didn't even know we had. The can make you feea uplifted, sad, scared or even make you cry.

The power of the pen is most certainly hard to ignore.

You have some fantastic phrases in this piece. Great work.

Mark.
