Books, my most persistant companions (FPFS ~ Day 4)

When I was five,

I went running to Mom;

Complaining and whining

I don’t have enough friends.

That was exactly when

Mom introduced me to the enchanting world of books;

With the first tender handshake,

Books have been my most persistent companions till date.

I grew up with magical fairy tales

Till poetry lured me with its captivating verses;

Within novels and short stories

I found my secret, small paradise.

The aroma of books

Reminded me I am never alone;

Cute and funny fictitious beings

Ensured my day never end without smiles and laughter.

I left myself a little

In every book that I read;

During times of adversity

They came back to me as my loyal savior.

Books made me wiser

And made life a lot easier;

For me, a life without books

Is no less than a body without soul.

Happy World Book Day to all the bibliophiles out there!
