ValentineI give you an old shirt, With holes and rips, Worn and used, Loved and abused.
I give you an old shirt, Outgrown and forgotten, Sweat-stained and thrown-out Laying neglected in the back of your closet.
I give you an old shirt, In hope that you will embrace it, Break out your sewing kit, Patch it and cleanse it.
I give you an old shirt, For you to wear every day, Displayed proudly on your breast, A reliable new old friend to comfort and support you.
I give you an old shirt, But- and here's the catch, If you tire with the constant attention, The infinite patchwork and unending scrubbing.
It will have holes and rips, Become Valentine
