Medical student Joanne Igoli reads Lines for a Bookmark by Gael Turnbull

Lines for a Bookmark

Gael Turnbull

You who read…
May you seek
As you look;
May you keep
What you need;
May you care
What you choose;
And know here
In this book
Something strange,
Something sure,
That will change
You and be yours.
