While looking to be entertained
One snowy, wintry day,
I climbed aboard a brand new book
And slowly sailed away.

Some sandwiches of ham and cheese,
I took along with me,
As well as cookies, freshly baked,
With thermos of spiced tea.

I traveled in a leisure way
With author at the helm.
She piloted her words with skill
Through a romantic realm.

I visited some gorgeous sites
Through great descriptive writing
And lingered there for quite awhile
Till came scenes more exciting.

Suspense and danger, found I next
With feisty girl in trouble,
Until the handsome hero came
And saved her on the double.

I loved the characters I met
Although they weren't perfect.
They prayed, receiving help from God
To guide them through each conflict.

It saddened me to reach the end
Of my exciting trip,
So searched I for another book
To be my sailing ship.
