Book of Words
It was a book of words
that left me in a rapture
a discovery of pleasure
I had to share
Each day I chose one word
that I would repeat and repeat
a testament to my devotion
words that became my mantra
morning and evening devotion
until the heretic appeared and took
away my dictionary –
thanks a lot Mom
This made me smile………very cool, adding a new word a day.

I really loved this. She was worried about what you would find, pity as those naughty new words would be explained to you rather than you ask her!
