The Book

Touched by so many
Held by family
Generation after generation
Tear-stained pages
Pencil smeared from my sister
Dust covered
It sits on my shelf
Cramped against others
Waiting for someone to
Discover it again
Full of emotion
Happy, Sad, Angry, Confused
A romance book, fulfilled and unfulfilled
Yet it still has a life
Full of adventures
To look forward to
In the future
To most people
It’s just a bundle of words
But to me it holds many memories
