By Richard Peck? From his Ezra Jack Keats Lecture:
A story is a doorway
That opens on a wider place;
A story is a mirror
To reflect the reader's face.
A story is a question
You hadn't thought to ponder;
A story is a pathway
Inviting you to wander.
A story is a window,
A story is a key,
A story is a lighthouse
Beaming out to sea.
A story's a beginning,
A story is an end,
And in the story's middle
You might just find a friend.
