BOOK Oh my dear fabulous friend; 

You are the one on whom I can depend 

You are so full of knowledge 

And I walk with you to college. 

You make those who use you clever 

And remain in their life forever. 

But some don’t even count your pages 

Though you stay with them for ages. 

 Some preserve like diamond 

Some flee from you as from a fiend 

You can be a guide, a real mentor 

A great friend and a philosopher. 

So long as there are good readers on earth 

You are sure to have many a rebirth.

 M. Pavithra, III B.A. English - 2010-2011.
