TRAVEL NEAR AND FAR

by Dr. Rick McGrath, Ph.D.
(Modesto, CA)

You can go anywhere and more
Through a book’s open door
You can travel near or far
To the moon or any star.

You can climb heaven’s stairway
Or read a book going the other way
Journey to the center of the earth
Or be present for a puppy’s birth

With a book you can come or go
The more you read the more you know
Come as you are to go near or far
With books the doors are always ajar.
