A Lock of Hair

A lock of hair A torn shoe string A rocking chair A wedding ring A dial phone A worn headband A xylophone An old night stand A broken piece, a little bit of what has passed No longer fits ~ Their memories last

I truly take 'simplicity' as a great compliment. Often it bespeaks elegance and purity. Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words, Sandra. :) gw

This was such a sing-song write. I found myself loving every line, Mr. Wolf.

I'm glad you liked this sing-song verse, Mrs. Krutsinger. (If I'm Mr. Wolf, then you are Mrs. Krutsinger. LOL.) How about Caren and Gershon? Works for me! :) gw
