The Yard Sale
The Yard Sale
Welcome to the yard sale.
I put that on my sign.
Things I wanna sell not
worth a nickle or a dime.
A body is the the item
I would like to sell today.
Or perhaps that maybe
I would love to give away.
On the torso is a head with a
mouth and two eyes that see
Eyes that see the beauty of
life and a mouth that freely speaks
On the torso on each side
Read the rest of the poem Show less
are two arms and two hands.
Two hands to hold and touch
on God's majestic land.
Down below the torso are
two legs and two feet.
That are used for running
or walking down the street.
Inside the body most special
of all the brain and the heart.
The brain provides the thinking
and the heart is life from start.
This yard sale requires no money
just simply care and love.
To heal the heart that's broken
and make it rise above.
This yard sale unlike others
not out for nickles or dimes.
Just wants to sell my heart
for love if somebody has the time.
