THESE BOOKS ARE HIS SWEAT.
THESE BOOKS ARE HIS SWEAT.
Everything around me has
something that ties to the past.
Those books make me see my dad,
whose sweat was the price l paid.
Taking lots of pounds from him,
I could buy those books which were
so expensive at that time,
but he paid with great delight.
Now, this verse is the true means
of imparting what l feel,
showing his soul that my tears
can express my deepest love.
All that exists in these books.
How can l but stick to them?
Ere l read what each page gives,
I dispatch a kiss to dad.
