Question
Guest
I started out like a simple coat on you back.
You flung me away like you were under attack.
Not looking back to know where I'd land.
Not even a thought; but you had a plan.
Another walked by looking to the ground.
Thinking , Wow! See what I have found.
Gently, slowly, lifted up with great care.
And took me with not a moment to spare.
