A Special Reader

A SPECIAL READER
By: Tyler Ross

The pages have been torn
and I am not the one to blame
the book has been neglected
and all I feel is shame
but finally there has been one
to start the first chapter
what a reader as you can see
the beauty she captures
the smile is radiant
making the pages glow
it’s healing the fractures
watching as she sets the tone
a miracle is what I call her
the best gift of the year
taken off the shelf
the mystery no longer feared
the withdrawals grasp my mind
torture, she’s not far away
the chance is mine to give
the perfect book in every way
chapter by chapter
proving I’m the best choice
this girl is what I want
every opportunity to see
and hear her voice
she is my very special reader
a dream turn reality
a very special reader
with the greatest personality
she is my special reader
