KEY NOTES : "Books fall open..."

Thank you to David Thompson Watson McCord for the poetry.  Mr. McCord was a published author,
a prolific poet and legendary Harvard fundraiser.  He was noted for his creative, rhythmic, and often whimsical poems.

Books fall open,
you fall in,
delighted where,
you've never been.
Hear voices
not once heard before,
Reach world through world,
through door on door.
Find unexpected
keys to things,
locked up beyond
imaginings….
True books will venture,
Dare you out,
Whisper secrets,
Maybe shout,
across the gloom,
to you in need
Who hanker for
a book to read.”

David T.W. McCord
