Lehan showed the teens
a simple map.
No confusing maze.
No boring trap.
One card is a spark.
Ten cards is a chapter.
Twenty cards is a voice
getting faster.
Fifty cards is a world
with a name.
One hundred cards
is a book in the game.
No giant mountain.
No impossible climb.
Just one small card
at a time.
A school year can become a book.
A summer can become a book.
A family story can become a book.
A business idea can become a book.
A dream can become a book.
A life can become a book.
The magic book whispered:
“Do not wait for someday.
Someday is usually
another word for never.”
