LIBRARY

BY

Laura Lee Christian


An oasis of knowledge
awaiting me at my finger tips
rows and rows of unexplored territory.
Wars to be won, dragons to be slain,
new scientific discoveries yet unleashed,
romances to stir the heart,
and knowledge to spark the smoking ember
of my curiosity and interest in things
living or material, ancient or modern,
above me or below me, outside or within,
big or little, extending beyond the universe,
or into the microscopic world,
for present needs or the needs of eternity.
In fact I need an eternity to explore.
Thanks God for giving me the eternity
I need to learn of the wonders
of your creation, which expresses You
to all mankind.
Such inspiration is to be found
at a library, any library.
An opportunity to delve and dive
get lost in a new idea or an old one.
the eternal answers to eternal questions
are there too, but not in the
endless books, but in one book,
the Bible.
