Reading To A Child

You open up so many doors When you read to a child Their imagination becomes so vivid As they are artistically beguiled A world they couldn’t otherwise Put strongly in their mind Now looms to the forefront Other thoughts are left behind They are drawn into another place Taken from their daily world Shot out like from a cannon Another planet they’ve been hurled Suddenly they are transfixed Ideas are not the same They learn also how to write Reading others who’ve found fame It starts a different train of thought Sometimes strong or maybe mild But it opens so many vivid thoughts When you’re reading to a child!
