Never Failing Friends

never failing friends are they,
With whom I conserve day by day,
With them I take delight in weal,
And seek relief in woe.
Did you got who are they? Obviously they are BOOKS.Books are lifelong source of pleasure,instruction and inspiration.If you have ever read a book you would know its pleasure. And if you have never read a book well..nothing can be done 🤷🏻‍♀. I hear all the time that people are reading listen less and less these days. Perhaps there are are more distractions more gadgets our lives are too busy to find a quiet corner and savour a book. Nowadays the mentality of people have also changed. Earlier everyone used to read books with great interest whereas nowadays when Mother ask her child to read a book The child replies" Reading is boring.I would rather prefer to play video game. BUT reading is a habit that we need to keep alive in ourselves and inculcate in future generation.Reading is to the mind what a good meal is to the body.Eating meal provides energy to the body in the same way reading books provide energy to the brain. Reading sustains, it nourishes, it helps us think, it helps us grow.

Reading does not only increases our knowledge but also boosts our mind.Reading makes our mind creative which initially improves our writing skills making our write ups attractive. While reading we come across new words which have never heard before.These words get added to our vocabulary making our vocabulary vast.Not only this books can be used as the most powerful tool which can change someone's mood. Reading lift us up from Harsh realities of life into the world of imagination. The magic touch of fancy transmutes grief into joy,failure into success, pain into pleasure and fear into hope. Different kinds of books have different pleasures.

Like a motivational book can provide hope in the darkest time of our lifes explaining us that-
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

2)God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.

3)God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain, rocky and steep,
Never a river, turbid and deep.

A storybook with tales new and old,
Is better for me than a sac of gold. Reading books will make my life shine whereas gold will not.
Open a book
And you will find
People and places of every kind;
Open a book
And you can be
Anything that you want to be;
Open a book
And you can share
Wondrous worlds you find in there;
Open a book
And I will too
You read to me
And I’ll read to you.
If you want to live a happy life keep reading books. Well the choice is yours.
