Some linen cloth of perfect white.
A hem of lace or tatting tight.
A hanky--what a lovely thing.
Oh, the memories that it can bring
of a birth, or a baptism, or a wedding day,
or for a special "Thanks" when its hard to say.
So tuck it among your treasures untold
for the day when you need "Something Old"....
(1981)

I've been sitting here enjoying story after story. Some I recognize and others are brand new to me. What a delight!
