Here's to those who read the books
cozied up in peaceful nooks.

To those whose eyes cherish the page
yellowed soft with antiqued age.

Who to touch the leather bound
possess most sure the treasure found.

Here's to those who leave a tear
touched by words with meaning dear.

Yes, to those with hearts to seed
watered with the words they read,
here's to those.
