Read to your children.
Twenty minutes a day.
You have the time
And so do they.
Read while doing laundry.
Read while dinner cooks.
Tuck a child in your arms
And reach for books.
Hide the remote.
Let the computer cool.
Let your children hear good stories
Before going off to school.
Read in the morning.
Read over noon.
Read by the light of
Good Night Moon
Turn the pages together,
Sitting close as you'll fit
While a small voice beside you says,
"Hey, please don't quit"
Read to me riddles
And read to me rhymes.
Read to me stories
Of magical times.
Read to me tales
About castles and Kings.
Read to me stories
Of fabulous things.
Read to me pirates,
And read to me knights,
Read to me dragons
And dragon-back flights.
Read to me spaceships
And cowboys and then
When you are finished
Please read them again.
