Analysis of Reading



To read more,
Or, to read less.
What uses our brains more?

To read a lot,
Will you confess?
Would you rather go sightseeing?

Reading fiction uses
Our brain and no mess,
You won’t be risking your life.

Television uses our brains little,
And reading uses more stress,
Which is more difficult?

We should study the Bible,
God will bless.
Fall in love with reading.

If we read little,
Are we cowards the less?
And faith is dead without works?

We should balance
The mind and body,
And be encouraged to do more.

We should read
Like the Rosary bead,
Use proper form and lead.
