A Penny for Your Thoughts

A Book

There is a book,

Not many know.

It's a book we keep,

But do not show.

I cannot see it,

But neither can you.

This book holds a story,

A story so true.

Although pages might be missing,

Do not stop to care.

Know that it is safe with someone out there.

And someday that someone will hand it back,

Along with a smile,

 As sweet as the aroma of a lilac.

A thousand pages more to go,

Only time will tell when it will hit zero.

The story is for you to complete.

Don't worry,

You won't need a pen or a seat.
