Old Books Never Die poem by Iris Carden

There's magic waiting
in op shops and second-hand stores.
Portals to adventure and mystery
to future and history.
Portals opened by others
but ready for use again,
ready to show you 
what others have seen,
ready to take you
on the paths where they've been.
Step into a world
as fresh now as then.
Give life to a story
told once again.
Old books never die.
Their stories live for ever.
