Thank you

 

To the aged librarian down the hallway:

Who thought it was cool that I had

clouds on my hair & detective glass

when reading books during lunch time

Who smiled at me when I would

return a book on time & borrow it

again, because he knew it was my favorite

From you, I learned 

the secrets of lost languages & uncharted

lands between the dusty shelves of the library 

To you, who gifted me with  

"a quote, a thimble of poems, hand me

a way to set sail"

I have found the ship filled with stories

and wild things, that I have decided to 

keep on sailing, forever looking out for pirates

*quoted lines from Bjorn Rudberg's Navigating Uncharted Seas, from The Aged Librarian series

Posted for dVerse Poets Pub - Friends in Blogosphere - hosted by Punam.  The library was my sanctuary growing up and I have made friends who share the same love for books and poetry.   Thank you friends!

Walking with friends

Why is it that when we are walking with friends,

it seems that the journey is shorter and more fun,

than if we walk by ourselves?

Sometimes, a friend's cheer is what we need

to move us along the way.

Have a good weekend everyone!

A Lift Up

Sometimes we need other people

to give us a nudge, a push and even a lift up

so we can go higher and achieve our goals.

So, hang out with people who can positively affect you.

Don’t listen to the voices of the complainers and naysayers.

Find your team of cheerleaders and help lift up each other!!!!
