“Kids Reading”

In corners bright with afternoon’s embrace,  
A gathering of children, eyes ablaze—  
Upon the carpet, stories find their place,  
And words become a lantern’s gentle rays.  

With every page, a castle rises tall,  
A pirate ship can sail across the rug;  
A dragon breathes its fire down the hall,  
And secret doors invite a whispered hug.  

Beneath the cover’s gentle colored dome,  
The universe grows bigger, wild, and wide:  
A girl explores the stars outside her home,  
A boy befriends a tiger, bold with pride.  

The quiet laughter swirling in the room,  
The rustle as inventions start to grow;  
A woodland path unfurling in full bloom,  
And questions only stories seem to know.  

Inside these books, the youngest dreamers learn  
That every tale can carry heart and light;  
Through printed lines, imaginations turn—  
And kids who read can soar and take to flight.
