Books holder's of knowledge

We often forget that reading the old classic books and learning from our mistakes are what help us become a holder of knowledge.

Books that sit upon shelves 

Marked front to back 

With notes and pen ink.

Their pages worn,

From repeated use

Their covers old and running thin

From frequently being read.

Years worth of work, 

Of lessons learned, dreams,

Ideas, and disagreements.

Well loved are these books

that have shared knowledge

with their readers 

Over and over again.
