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
