A poem from my nine-year-old niece

A Book
by Kristina Burrill

If you are reading a book
it is written
because if it wasn't written
you couldn't read it
it was written in the past
because if it was written in the present
it would be written right now
and if it was written in the future
it is not written yet
but someday you will be able to read it
but that day hasn't come yet
and it will be written
but not yet
