Small Change

Small Change

                                                      Once shiny brass                          Passed from hand to hand
 Worth little,  yet still has some use
 Silver, more value, for those who need         
 Where gold wanted, cost rich no doubt
All of it tarnished in the palms of inhumane hunger
 Strewn aside forgotten,  like discoloured brass
 Merit in large numbers, ample bronze found
 Many similar, not seen to stand alone
 Passed from hand to hand      Leaving simply dull, without lustre

Our Dear Lorna,

How wonderful to be in touch with you and Jason again.  Linda's Birthday is tomorrow, and we can't think of a nicer gift that she could have received.  
I will respond to your powerful words with a Haiku. (Just like old times, huh)

The brass have their gold
The poor-their pennies for life
Tarnished Angels

All our love,
Linda and Larry xxx

Shinier the brass

 It's glitters not gold
