Charity Shop Tears
A wedding dress in Oxfam’s window.
The Laughter and the tears were not included.
A well-worn walking stick just 50p
The memory’s and pain are gone.
Baby cloths the price tags still on
Oh the heart ache we will never know.
A doll without a child to cuddle
A teenager who needs a friend.
A business suit upon a hanger
A career no longer pursued.
High heeled shoes with fancy buckles
He now go’s dances all alone.
All treasures they let go.
