Just An Ordinary Rocking Chair

Just an ordinary chair siting by the wall rocking back and forth so slowly yet not going anywhere at all plain brown upholstery with a handle on its side and simple standard stitching where loose change goes to hide sagging seats and stains and faded fabric around it's really a surprise it hasn't fallen to the ground just an ordinary chair is all that people see but because of who sat there it means so much to me
