A Note to M
I’ve watched you hold
And take care of the old
Raggedely things
With devotion and faithfulness
You preserve, repair and reuse them
Respect them
We, the dinged, the dented, the squeaky
Are grateful, we
Ramshackly things
From a full chest filled with breath, I say truely
My heart is this big for you
The leaky old thing

A very fine gift to M who has a heart of gold. The world should have more Ms. Beautifully written!
Nita Marie, you’re right, a fine gift a poem makes. Oddly enough though, it has not yet been acknowledged so I don’t know if its an effective sort of gift.
