Over forty years
this one chair has been
hot pink then aqua now floral
but it will be forever called
'the pink chair'.
It held the lovers,
added warmth to an empty room,
supported the expectant Mama,
cradled the newborn,
wrapped round the sobbing child,
soothed the broken hearted teenager,
nestled the grand-babies,
rested the weary head
and now comforts those
who can find comfort no where else.
Now one pink chair and I
are going on another adventure together.
...will you join us?
