When Someone Reads
When children's books were read to me,
Imagination flew,
Including when I watched TV
With Captain Kangaroo.
He read to all of us each day
And showed the pictures so
We'd learn to love the books that way,
With words that helped us grow.
Some teachers read to us as well;
The love for books a goal.
Creative minds of kids that dwell
On books enrich their soul!
