The Watching Pants


 

By

Elnora Palmtag

 

I have seen you through all your trials and tribulations, through all the pains in your life,

I have seen you smiling in their faces, while going through the strife.

You kept me hidden from envious eyes and made me a part of your dreams.

You treasured me all through the years and walked me beside the streams.

Meandering on a long walk home and never breaking stride,

I watched your sad face as you roamed through lanes both narrow and wide.

You kept me sheltered, clean and warm

And never let me come to any harm.

I treasure your beautiful care of me

And know we will many more years to see.

So take care of me and I will keep you dry.

(Dedicated to my 1972 bell bottom pants, bought with my first big prize at Harrah’s casino in Reno)
