Turn the Page to Escape

Open a book and turn the pages,
Let it travel the world
Let it shake hands with the old
young
hopeless
faithful

Let it speak volumes,
When you are lost for words

Invite them into your home, soul
thoughts, hearts

Let it encourage, and understand
Let it lend a hand to the fragile
broken
and lonely

Let it be the net that catches you
When you fall deep into despair

Open a book and turn the page
Watch as simple words can become escape
