    What She Found in His Pockets:
Body

She picked up his jeans and gave them a shake,

Her eyes opened wide, she started to quake.

The things that fell out almost gave her a seizure,

Yet she knew that each one was a coveted treasure.

A pen and a toad that he found on the road,

A bee and a rock, the hands from a clock.

A clover for luck and a little toy truck,

A penny, a dime, and a piece of a lime,

A snake and a ball; it was quite a haul.

Some dirt and some string, a hummingbird wing,

The flower of a thistle, a shiny tin whistle.

A little toy gun (oh he must have had fun!),

Each treasured article filled her with awe,

Like the thing that looked so much like a claw,

But the last thing she found made her lose her aplomb:

A wrinkled up note that read, “I love you, Mom.”

Proverbs 31:28 “Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.”
