In a green garden, two friends laying With books in hand, they began to chat, Their laughter echoed in the breeze, As they read their books with ease. one, with a twinkle in his eye, Read tales of adventure that made him sigh, While the other, with a smile so bright, Read about the world beyond their sight. Together they shared their stories and dreams, As the sun shone down with its beams, The leaves rustled and the flowers swayed, As they continued reading, undismayed. Their joy contagious, their spirits high, They both read on without a sigh, Lost in their books, they did not know, How quickly the hours had seemed to go. As the sun set and the sky turned red, The friends closed their books and shook their heads, They knew they'd return to their garden green, For many more readings, yet to be seen.
