Button On the Hill

found my lost button
            on the hill,
it was just sitting
   there so quite and still.

Picked it up,
      and went on home,
as I walked in the door,
there was a ring on the telephone.

Too late to answer it,
took my button and sewed it on,
am so happy now, took my coat
over to show my friend Leon.

Well what a blessing to have found that button - I am truly hoping by reading your work that I can somehow gain just a little of the peaceful simplistic beauty that you have - God Bless James
