STORIES WITHIN<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Big hopes and dreams<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and walks in the park;<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
searching for rainbows,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
afraid of the dark;<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
playing hide-and-seek<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
within the twists<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and the turns of life;<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
hiding in the corners<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and playing tag<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
with my heart.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

\nWords holding me captive<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and carrying me away,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
my imagination<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
surrendered to<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
the light and the dark.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
Tales that come knocking<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
on the door of my mind<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and I peer through the windows<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
not quite knowing what I’ll find.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

\nBut as I open the door<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
a crack so I can see,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
picking up the book<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
that’s on the desk<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
in front of me,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
I find love’s sweet songs<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
caressing the strings<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
of broken hearts;<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
songs of the night<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
laced with somber melodies<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and broken dreams.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
I find tales of adventure<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
to places far and wide,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
snapshots of lives lived<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and played and loved.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

\nAnd as I read stories<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
of years passing by \u2013<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
stories of lives well lived,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
the playful shrieks of children,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
voices drifting out of range,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
the tears and fears<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
playing out on each page,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
I can hardly put it down.<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

\nBut as I put it away,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
this book that I’ve found,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
I know I’ll be back later on<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
to read the pages again,<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
stories we have<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
within our hearts<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
to tell.
