"Library"
There are books that line the lofty, tall shelves,
They are something someone could envision,
About the fiction and even ourselves,
Choosing which book is a tough decision.
Stories spring up on all of the pages,
Myriad places can come to life there,
People from different eras and ages,
Some authors can bring you to anywhere.
The books here tell the story of many,
They capture lives and times experienced,
To the future or to nineteen-twenty,
To any planet, place, or period.
Books and libraries are like time machines,
The things you thought only occur in dreams.
