Poem in Honor of Reading

Poem in Honor of Reading

For knowing some adults haven’t yet been taught to read.
For knowing a story will pull me through a portal into adventure beyond.
For reading pink morning into lemon day overtaken by moon night.
For reading can bring on my tear.
For thumping a book closed to say, “You. Must. Read . This!”
For grabbing the envelope back to scribble this poem.
