Come Read to Me
Come sit with me and read; I like the sound
of words the way you say them with your voice.
I like how A’s are sharp and O’s are round
and how you seem to make your R’s rejoice!
Come sit with me and read a book or two
or read a poem, anything you choose.
I’ll listen, that’s the thing I like to do.
I’ll even beg you, “Please, please don’t refuse.”
Come sit with me and read, I want to hear
the soft, the loud, and everything between.
You read to me and everything seems clear;
I understand the words and what they mean.
There’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
than sitting here with you. Come read to me.
