What I hold in my hand - ephemera

There was a buzz in the air My Grandad had bought himself new gloves And get this 'half price!' "How did you do it Grandad?" I asked, quite wide eyed and looking for wisdom "Well, these were in the window. One side is faded, but they function just the same and you can't tell if you wear that side on the palm" I don't know how many years ago that was - I'd guess around 40 and those were his gloves for maybe a decade until he died. They are just cheap woollen gloves, faded on one side but I still keep them in my drawer and remember the day a little bit of wisdom came my way. Not everything fades.
