Gratification In Books

A good book gives great gratification,

Be it a mystery, a thriller or romance,

I love them all,

And when it's Christian fiction,

I love them even more,

From Francena Arnold to Karen Kingsbury to Denise Hunter,

I simply love their writing,

Enid Blyton caught my attention as a child,

As did the story of Esther, David, Hannah and Samson,

And then when I was in college,

Came Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte,

And the history of the nation of Israel,

Today, I should say that I'm obsessed with reading,

Sometimes, it's poetry by Helen Steiner Rice,

Sometimes, it's simply Sherlock Holmes or Nicholas Sparks,

But a good book sure gives great gratification to me.
