"A Storybook Ending"
"But as the days grow long and slow,
He knows the tide won't ebb or flow.
And so, with one last heavy sigh,
He locks the door and says goodbye.
The books, once loved, will rest alone,
The stories waiting, but unkown.
And in the silence, soft and deep,
He shuts the door, and falls to sleep."
