Ode to a Good Book in Bed

I just wrote this a few days ago for my Intro. to Creative Writing class. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Enjoy ;)

To my dear friend book,
Over 10 years you have been a companion of mine,
Your many subjects reel in bookworms like a hook,
Hundreds of topics and genres to choose from throughout time,
Where should we start to take a look?

Your crisp, new pages waiting to be read,
Or maybe yellowing pages shown much love instead,
You fill bookshelves with your family and friends,
In public and private libraries, some in hearts till the end.

But who doesn't like a good book in bed?
After a hard days work and face turned red,
Come under a warm, cozy blanket on a cold winter night,
Lay down and give thanks for your soft pillow so light,
Thank God for books and beds, rest well and sleep tight!
