digging a hole

Jon Nakapalau

in the backyard

for a cactus a neighbor
gave my mom

I excavate a
small plastic

red stegosaurus
that I played with

eons ago.

    This write tells its own story Jon as in just a few lines you open memories for me - - - finding small treasures can take us back in a moment to moons or years ago - - thanks for sharing it.

      Thank you Fay - holding that small piece of plastic brought back so many memories...I was not ready for that - I cleaned it off and it is going to be a kind of 'good luck charm' now!

        What a charming idea - - in fact having unearthed such a well-loved treasure it deserves being closer to a now grown owner.

        Time flies, doesn't it. When faced with that fact many people find it hard to handle. It is no easy thing to do.
        Best regards.
