Get Lost In A Good Book
Do you often pull out a new book?
Does the anticipation of a new story draw you in?
Do you enjoy getting lost in the magic of the words?
When was the last time you opened one to begin?
In a healing crisis when you are laid up at home,
You might have extra time on your hands,
Why not open up a new book to read?
And be distracted on the pages at hand.
Are you a reader who prefers non-truth fiction?
Reading romance, or fantasy or mysteries?
Or do you prefer books that are true and non-fiction?
Like how-to’s, travel tales or biographies?
Do you like the tactile feel of a book in your hands?
Or do you now read by a digital device?
Or how about listening to a good audio-book?
Listening hands-free while reclining is nice.
If you have to take a period of down-time,
While you patiently wait to mend,
Why not get a good book to read?
It’s another way to distract from the situation at hand.
A good book is a wonderful solution,
As a good story will whisk you away,
Help you feel better by spending enjoyable time,
As you rest to improve your health each day.
