A READER LIVES A THOUSAND LIVES

A reader lives a thousand lives
But never endures their own
A reader survives a hundred wars
But always goes back for more
 
A reader has their heart broken
Yet never is alone
A reader suffers unimaginable grief
Yet never gives a groan
 
A reader will handle all that these lives throw
A reader takes the pain and suffering
And the happiness to go
A reader knows
A reader knows
These lives are the best
A reader knows
A reader knows
Just how they are quite blessed
 
A thousand lives,
Is what they say
A reader will go through
But there’s one life
A reader lives
That’s quite remarkable too
 
Each one life
Is as important as the next
But a reader spends theirs
Learning of the rest
They stay safe inside, warm
And learn of the world
Without going through the storm
