Daily Reading
You see my fervour for phrases
descriptions
and words
I've taken for granted
it will take you
some time to learn
The sound of my voice
since the day
you were born
Is the voice
you'll remember
through the roughest of storms
It's not so easy
to teach
these basics of reading
The chore of homework
and its intent
can be often misleading
Yet I know that you have this
through these tears
and our laughs
Some day
you'll discover
that it happened so fast.

Fantastic! I remember those days. Mine have moved on to their more intriguing adult literature now, but fostering that love is second to none.

Thank you. The trick is making it enjoyable and eventually that magical portal will open.
