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

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/28/2019 7:37:00 AM This was such a sing-song write. I found myself loving every line, Mr. Wolf. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 7/28/2019 12:50:00 PM 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
