Yard Sale

A lawn full of things like shoes without strings all set out to be taken To be bought off the shelf by somebody else some things new, most old and shaken but to part with these tokens so bent and broken has symbolism all of its own our lives are bought for a price and the memory dies just as soon as it leaves our home think twice before you give for what you once lived be it cutlery, art, or not and remember these tokens the bent and the broken the ones that have now been bought

Hannah, this is lovely. A little hint though. Check out this judge's blog.She tells exactly what she is wanting. (I have yet to do this contest. Can't think of one item to discuss) Nice to meet you here. Luv, Andrea
