The Library
A Bible is a library -
now think on that awhile;
Library - house of many rooms -
a study, done in style
A Bible has many chapters (rooms)
and many authors, too;
A store house of treasures -
we can read more than a few.
We file God's affirmations
in our built-in memory;
We collect, preserve and practise
as we read daily.
The apostles wrote a library,
bound in one volume - so wise;
And it is called the Bible,
as I'm sure you have surmised.
