A LITTLE WORN-OUT HANKY




photo-painting "A LITTLE WORN OUT-HANKY" by Christine Ross



A LITTLE WORN-OUT HANKY

A little worn-out hanky
From a long, long time ago,
Stained with lots of memories
That someone used to know.

Did that little hanky
Dry away a million tears
Of sorrow or of happiness
In some long forgotten years?

Was it placed within a Bible
At a wedding from the past,
Or was it held in trembling hands
When a loved one didn't last?

The hanky's yesterdays aren't known,
Nor the compassion that it brought.
But it can hold a special place
In your heart and in your thoughts.

Whatever life may bring you
May you find some peacefulness,
From a little worn-out hanky
And the comfort that it gives.
