The Dusty Book

An Inspirational and Uplifting Poem EVERY DAY from Simon J. Halliday!

The Dusty Book

Quietly placed upon a shelf

Where none have gone for many a year

A book sits quietly, full of wealth

Yet  wasted to a world of fear

For answers can be found for those

Who really want to know

In places where we once have been

But then forgot to go

It's easy to miss a glint of truth

When faced with so much noise

Slow down, be still, and listen hard

For busyness destroys

Never a word was written down

For nobody to read

Keep searching, never give up the quest

For it's not based on greed

There never will be a day which passes

When no thing will change

Stay wide awake and watch it all

Though often things are strange

Sometimes there's nothing you can do

But learn a little more

Each day a chance to glean a gem

Then life is never a chore

It's time for reading, studying perhaps

You'll be surprised to find

That dusty book so long forgotten

Has all the world outshined
