-- Six Word Saturday --
Do you know what I don't?
Gone
We came but you were gone.
We don't know where you went
else we'd go there with you.
A trail of crumbs would show
but birds by the number
do hum a happy song.
How can we ever know
why you have gone or where
you went? We may never.

These lawn chairs were a part of Mom's treasure. They were always on the glassed-in front porch on the farm. When she and Dad moved in to town they were there on the front porch again.
The whole family has spent many a morning, afternoon, or evening reading and watching any traffice that would go by. I remember when Dad got them new, now they are about 65 years old.

They are sitting the driveway with only a few bolts holding them together. Repaint and storage for winter is their hoped for upcoming fate. Those bolts left are tougher than I am. I will have some help and better tools to finish that part of my job.

Hi Jim ~~ Great story about the old chairs and the poem about them.
I do not wish to do the 6 word thing
but just for you, here is what I'd say ~~ "Life is good, I am content."
Thanks for your comments, glad you liked the school friend story. It
sure makes us think how our words and
actions can be used to help others.
Take care, Cheers, Merle.

What a great 6 Word Saturday. I love my old treasures that have been passed down from generation to generation.
I remember those chairs! My grandparents had a set and as children we always bounced on them till we got yelled at.
Very nicely written! That brought a pang to my heart.
The great thing about those old chairs is, once you get them spruced up, they'll be just as good as new!

If only those chairs could talk! Those kind of chairs are very comfortable I always thought.
Great poem Jim!!
