Scraps

Momma made Dorothy a dress from the scraps off the factory floor, And a quit from worn out garments that were worn before. And the old buttons that survived became the christmas sock dolls eyes. She raised a family just on scraps, that kept us warm and had our backs. So please forgive me when I smile at pants with patches and re-darned gloves. To you they look like garbage. But to me they look like love.

Love indeed! We should feel good about wearing such clothes knowing where they came from and the true love their creation entailed. Well done Anthony! Best wishes, Keith
