Reclining Chair

Remember the day that you brought me home to stay. Every time you set in me, I heard you stop and say. Chair you are so soft and I rest easy within you. Lazily you reclined and I caressed, so gently too. I know that you care for me as deeply as you show. Neatly you kept me, shampooing me, head to toe. I have no idea what ever happened to the love you had. Now I set waiting, in the corner, did I do something bad? Granted I have become an old chair maybe you became sad. Carefully you replaced me with a bigger and brighter chair. Hearing you say that he was on sale, a bargain so fair. Again, you scrub him and me, so I know you still care. I know my days are limited, because of the size of this room. Recliners come and go. That is our dilemma and perilous doom.

This amazing chair speaks volumes about disposable lives as well as disposable possessions (like chairs). Those who are cast aside ask many of the same questions your chair does in this amazing write. All of our "days are limited" as we make way for younger people to fill our shoes (or chairs). Awesome write, dear friend. Much love, Carolyn
