Pick up a Book
Pick up a book,
And have a look.
Take in the sounds,
Enjoy all round.
Soak in the dream,
Real it may seem.
Walk along the path,
And have a good laugh.
Make lasting friendships,
Build relationships.
Discover something new,
Learn something about you.
Go on expeditions,
Unlock imaginations.
Be kind to yourself,
Go to a bookshelf.
Pick up a book,
Go on, have a look.
And have a look.
Take in the sounds,
Enjoy all round.
Soak in the dream,
Real it may seem.
Walk along the path,
And have a good laugh.
Make lasting friendships,
Build relationships.
Discover something new,
Learn something about you.
Go on expeditions,
Unlock imaginations.
Be kind to yourself,
Go to a bookshelf.
Pick up a book,
Go on, have a look.
