Put a book in this child’s hands | My Poetry

Put a book in this child’s hands.
Trust me — it’ll do them good.
Give them time with their silent companion
And you’ll see — something strong will grow out of this seed.
It’ll give them big words and strong opinions.
It’ll be annoying, but you’ll get used to it and over time
They will settle down with solid ground under their feet
But with minds reaching higher than the sky.

Put a book in this child’s hands.
Trust me — it’ll do them good.
Give them time with their silent companion
And you’ll see — something strong will grow out of this seed.
It’ll give them big words and strong opinions.
It’ll be annoying, but you’ll get used to it and over time
They will settle down with solid ground under their feet
But with minds reaching higher than the sky.
