BUTTONHOLE SAINT

Through the Bars   by   Tush
This buttonhole soul’s made of simple things,
half a pizza box, piece of  blue string,
once rusted steel with a coat of paint,
I tell you friends, she’s a little saint.

Through the squares of  the bars,
she sees sun, moon, and  stars,
while twists of wire, hold things together,
she’s learned to prepare for all kinds of weather.
Spring is coming; she can tell it’s near,
and each tender bud, she’ll touch with a tear.


Tushie   6/8/12
