Ode to a story

Ode to a story.

Whether it's yours or mine.

Whether it's a piece of your life.

Or something made up in your mind.

Ode to a story.

that you read up late in your bed.

where you go to far way places

in the depths of your head.

Ode to a story.

that you can't put down.

that you hurry to the ending.

In hopes it turns around.

Ode to a story

that is a fight against all odds.

that tells of a journey

that ends in tears and applause.

Ode to a story,

that helps you to grow.

that opens, uncovers

the pieces you needed to know.

Ode to a story.

that fills up your heart

with love and of hope

to find your own sweetheart.

Ode to a story.

of mystery and crime.

where the day is saved,

just in the knick of time.

Ode to a story.

of knights brave and true,

of kingdoms, and swords,

and dragons that flew.

Ode to a story.

read just before bed,

with tucked in little children,

and kisses on heads.

Ode to a story,

that sing a song,

that get stuck in your head,

all day long.

Ode to a story

and to poetry too.

because poems are stories

and I just proved it to you.
