 "The
              person whodoes not read good books
 has no advantage
 over the person who
 can't
              read them."
 
 Do you know someone
 who really needs to
 Learn to Love Reading?

					The 
					
					Nectar 
					
						
							| 
					One by one they were goneheading for busy lives
 Taking all the honey with them
 Leaving an empty space
 Where silence echoes
 Unused toy boxes gather dust
 There are no more requests
 "What's for tea?"
 An unasked question
 Bereft feelings soothed
 With the passing of time
 Idle hands stir
 At the sound of footsteps
 A small face looks into mine
 I hear the whirring of wings
 They return to the hive
 Like sweet nectar
 Another generation.
