I am always fascinated to look up to you,

your face radiant as the sun,

picking me up right away

the chores set aside,

you said it can wait just for a while.



you turn to me when your mind's a cluttter,

you leaf through my pages,

every flip of your fingers send a thrill to my senses,

I can make you laugh, drown you in tears

your eyes big in awe and wonder.



I can take you away

to a faraway and distant land

where life is a fairytale.

I can show you the real world,

its harshness inevitable,



that life is a symbol of tears, smiles and fears,

yes, I can open up all doors

for you to take a look.

I remember how many times

when sleep evades you



putting me down is hard to do,

your father turns off the light

he said you need some rest

tomorrow is another day.

his words came unheeded



for you and I will be bathed

in a dim streak of light,

together we will journey to boundless places,

my destiny complete

when you turn all my pages.
