I ve written pages and pages
But these words and letters
Cannot explain
The volumes I ve gathered
A collection for the collectors
Our storybook encounters
A novel too good to put down
But as circumstances has it
We'll have to fold a corner
At the end of the chapter
Or place a bookmark
And hide it in a safe place
Maybe in the next year
We'll find it our backpacks
And we'll be able to pick up
Right where we left off
But these words and letters
Cannot explain
The volumes I ve gathered
A collection for the collectors
Our storybook encounters
A novel too good to put down
But as circumstances has it
We'll have to fold a corner
At the end of the chapter
Or place a bookmark
And hide it in a safe place
Maybe in the next year
We'll find it our backpacks
And we'll be able to pick up
Right where we left off
