A book.

Not too big, but by no means small;

Unremarkable in shape.

Bright colors like the summer sun

Catch the eye at just a glance.

So many others on the shelf;

It seems just one of many,

But what importance lies within

Is not revealed to all.

The culmination of my adolescence exists between its pages;

The wishes, hopes, and dreams of ages are captured in this tome;

Years of my life are held in it;

Joy, sadness, all that comes with it;

Those that I love with all my heart

Play out their final chapters here.

To many it may never be much better than any other is.

To them it's good, but nothing special;

Perhaps it's great, but soon forgotten,

But to me it is more precious than a thousand of its kind,

And I know deep within my heart that I will never ever find

Again, another book like this.

Though I'll read many that I love,

Deathly Hallows and the Harry Potter

Will always be above.
