I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.

An exchange of old for what once was new, seeing the threadbare sleeve and the patch on old dreams back-stitched to the future when we reach. But the white robe and crown we found along the way, would we exchange those? I liked your thoughts. A good perspective.

“no returns,
No exchange policy”

Great reason to make each day beautiful.

Captivating – could read it over and over.

If only this, then that.
Not that. That!
Price tag’s been torn off.
And that shirt’s got a
button missing.
And can’t you see how
the sole has worn?
We all got our patches.
Some of us
wear them well.

I’ve clung to those “if onlies”. This is one I think we all can relate to!
