Yep, yep, yep, all good christina. But I wasn't sure if the last stanza
added strength to the piece. may not be critical to the piece.
Cheers,

> Letting Go

> At last it's time to strip the paper -
> the pearlized stripes embossed with roses
> in butterfly bowls to match
> the tasselled lampshades.
>
> No more maroon or gloomy parts
> the light can't reach. Out they go -
> reproductions, fake bamboo boxes.
> Kitsch and clutter weigh heavy.
>
> Your resin fawn, the Meissen lady
> and cute little black boy will go
> to The Heart Foundation. Mother,
> your clothes are too large, your shoes
>
> like great boats I've moored for years.
> Now I'll let them sail the coast
> or wade with beige ladies
> and matching handbags.
>
> I didn't think the day would come
> to let go - to fill a home with space,
> to focus on precious things
> and see them clearly.
