Notes About The Poem

Ephemera Contest Sponsored by Dilly Dally 04/23/24

 

Paper chase Ephemera

Tucked away right at the back of my husband’s bedside cabinet lies a brown leather wallet The money is long gone but to him it contains something far more precious ... My business card from Radio Lollipop a charity we were involved with I turn the dog eared card over and smile written in faded blue biro is my old phone number This tiny little card resulted in our first date and eventual marriage I have a lump in my throat knowing he has kept it for so many years

Such memories that are never forgotten. I too have some notes written by my late wife and I treasure them as you did too.
