"Please Bury Me in the Library" - DDW LXXXI

My Gram sent me this poem very many years ago in one of her written letters in her beautifully elegant handwriting. I still have that paper, now all faded and yellowed.  It holds a special place for me.  It proved that there were others like me out there, and for a ten year-old, that's extremely important.

So now i'll share it with you so that you too know... you're not alone.

Please Bury Me in the Library 
by Patrick Lewis

Please bury me in the Library
In the clean, well-lighted stacks
Old Novels, History, Poetry,
Right next to the paperbacks

Where the Kids' Books dance
With True Romance
And the Dictionary dozes.
Please bury me in the library
With a dozen long-stemmed proses.

Why back by a rack of Magazines,
I won't be sad too often,
If they bury me in the library
With Bookworms in my coffin.
