Button Art

An old woman left it at the thrift store; To a young girl, it was so much more It wouldn't stay sewn on, there is a much better use for this button Those young eyes don't see the way others do, This is inspiration just waiting for a muse A Button not meant for a blouse or skirt, Stringing until her fingers hurt The beads align to perfection, Bringing to life her imagination One of a kind bracelet can't be beat On her wrist, the art is now complete
