it will not matter
what my bank account was,
the sort of house I lived in,
or the kind of car I drove…
but the world may be different
because I was important in the life of a child.
~~~
A lock of hair from a child so fair,
A miracle from above placed gently in my care.
This child is growing up so fast.
Tomorrow is the future, today is the past,
walking…talking…fading riddles and rhymes,
This lock of hair remains a keepsake of past times.
