My Sleeve

Before I was aware I used you to pacify myself, back then I used my mouth to explore the world. Later, you became a napkin. Ok, I'll admit, a Kleenex oftentimes. How I long for those days of simplicity! Because now, and maybe for the rest of my days You are just outerwear for my heart.

I think we can all relate to this poem from some point in our lives, especially in childhood. Sad but true!
