Dear Librarian

You are the keeper, the preserver of knowledge

Hundreds of books, you cleverly manage

Of different worlds, you hold the key

I don’t know how you do it so easily.

I remember, eight years back

When you showed me my first book rack

And placed a book into my tiny arms

That little gesture was full of charm.

With me, incredible patience you had shown

You led me to fantastical worlds unknown

You always kept your caring eye on me

Watching me lose myself in fantasy.

You taught me the meaning of ‘imagination’

For me, you provided the best navigation

Dear librarian, a big ‘thank you’, I want to say

Without you, I wouldn’t have been what I am today.
