New And Old Books Poem by Njousi Abang

I feel good each time
I get a new book
A new book may
Not really be new
But at least let it
Be a book I have
Never seen before
A new book makes
All the difference in one's world
It changes one's thoughts and views
It transports one to a new realm
It brings good news to the poor
And transforms one's life

While a new book brings good news
An old book sits by you reminding you
Of the wonders that it contains
And constantly comforts you
With the fact that you can turn
To it when you are in need
New and old books are really
Good friends in need and indeed
