Book Mark

I read it in a book once
of kings and queens
and knights of old;
around the table at which they sat
their medieval story was told.

I read it in a book once
of planets and aliens
and spaceships of glory;
a galactic war between good and evil
was the climax of their story.

I read it in a book once
of hobbits and wizards
swamps and scary things;
I travelled a land called Morder
and vanquished the evil ring.

I read it in a book once
of tombs and treasures
and priceless recoveries;
thousands upon thousands of stories
of magic discoveries.

In distant lands far away
where secrets are revealed;
I read it in a book once -
I know it to be real.
