Dust On The Bible

There is dust on the cover of the bible

The only book I haven't read in quite a while

The one book that can truly paint a picture with words

I have no alibi as for the reason I haven't read it lately

My life has been hell and I've been going through too much

Beautiful passages are highlighted in red colored pencil

Property of a motel the night of my honeymoon it was

It's time I sprayed it with a bit of Endust to make it shine

Time to pick up that book and read it once again

For time is of the essence and time you cannot borrow

Oh so true. We got to remember what is important to us and in life.

[George Love]

Excellent work, deep thoughts in few words

I love your poem! If you are entering it in the Tovli 10/40 contest, it can only be 40 words long. Maybe you're just posting it?
