Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Line After Line

Line after line of fresh diapers
A daily chore for years
Clothesline held six dozen each day
Unless weather unclear

If there was rain or freezing air
A wooden rack was filled
Placed over the gas floor furnace
Inside clean diapers spilled

Two little ones not potty trained
Now grown and on their own
They hold up a pipeline of love
Since the home nest have flown

Daniel Turner October 1, 2016 at 9:33 AM We used cloth diapers for our firstborn. That is one memory I will never forget. This poem also brings back memories from my youth, when my mother used to hang all of out laundry on a clothesline. I always loved the smell but my jeans were always so stiff:) Thank you for the memories, Mrs Sara. needless to say, I love the poem:) Sara Kendrick October 1, 2016 at 9:38 AM When we first married, all the clothes went out on the line which was a daily chore for me to take them out and pin them on the line then go get them when dry..They did smell so good..Back then once or twice a year we put the mattresses out in the sun to air out..I guess that the sunshine helped kill those dust mites, etc..Always a fresh clean scent when the day was done..Thanks for dropping by..Sara
