We Too Are Authors of All the Books We Have Read

 

I still read books just as I did when young

With pen in hand (no longer pipe in mouth)

For underlinings, arrows, and marginal notes

Mapping out the adventures as I go along

 

And we give God thanks for

 

Writers and artists and craftsman with clever hands

Uncredited loggers and tanners of hides

Makers of glue and thread and blocking machines

And the white-capped printer with inky hands

 

Books have many authors, and the Author of All

Blesses them and us with their waves of words
