Old Shirt
I like the old shirt,
but its time has past.
Buttons are missing,
there are small rips here and there,
the fabric now is thin and
my elbow pokes through.
I like the way this garment fits,
I like the pattern and colors,
I like the comments people
make about the outfit.
I have other garb,
some, with agreeable patterns,
that fit me fine. Now it's time
for another to be favored.
It's time for this one to go.
I won't be happy cutting it
into rags nor putting it out
with next week's trash.
But it is time to let go.
