Forrest is a Book
Forrest is a book.
His language is sometimes difficult and complex.
He is only understood by a few.
His words sometimes ramble on from one to the next.
His cover may be hard,
but the pages within are soft as silk.
If someone tries hard enough,
they may understand him.
He was but one of many,
sitting amongst millions,
waiting for someone to check him out.
It was lonely when not selected.
He hoped to be read without hesitation or doubt.
He hoped to be understood both inside and out.
Some have given him what he has needed,
so that he could stay in good condition.
They have respected him.
They have taken care of him.
They have protected him from mishandling.
In the past he had been read by very few.
Recently, some have decided to delve beneath the cover.
They've been intrigued by the opportunity.
Many mysteries have been uncovered while his story has unfolded.
Some have discovered what is inside.
So much information has been revealed from deep within.
Those who have read him have encouraged others to do so as well.
