Open Book

On pages yellowed and cracked with age
Timeless thoughts within me saved
Though words they seem to fade with time
and corners of pages left smudged with grime
My tales are always here to see
through passing years they never flea
Stored immortally within my cover
are ageless tales to be discovered
Hidden treasures await within
my tattered pages and leather skin

    This is so lovely and soft, like an old friend, a good book is something we treasure through the years, it is and can be the constant companion. Love, Chez

    Truly there is no finer adventure than that which lies within the pages of a book. This is a wonderful poem and a book is a terrific and timeless charm to be added to the bracelet. Thank you so much for this splendid entry. Excellent. ~Pamela

    How odd that you have a similar background, I am 4th generation irish on my father's side and I married into a german background (but we got rid of that! lol)
    But on reading your page it seems the Irish is strong in your veins as it comes out in the way you write. Love, Chez
