I Miss My Public Library

I miss my Public Library, it’s been closed for awhile now
I’d like to slip in one of these nights and go through the stacks
But I don’t know how
It’s not much to look at, my neighbors and I all know that
You stand in line, you get in free
At my local Public Library

And if a book doesn’t make you smile, there’s magic behind every door
Like puzzles for 2 quarters or the movie you’ve been waiting for
Music, art and all the things that make a life worth living
I miss the chance to browse and breathe
I miss my public library

Any day now I’ll get the news the library is open again
I’ll holler to my friends, kiss the cats
Jump on my bike and ride like the wind
And I’ll return to that special place
That puts a “hush” upon my face
And the folks working there are cool as can be
At my local Public Library
