"Today i went shopping for a shelf.
My wall was bare, maybe for books,or
just for looks.
The floor clerk was of no help.
The choosing's of my needs seemed
to raise the hairs on the back of her neck.
She passed a remark that it's "only a shelf".
I replied. " How wrong you are. The simple piece
of wood is to bring a taste of beauty to a bare place."
This all lead me to think how important a simple
piece of crafted wood can improve many lives.
Yet we live in a world with never ending vices.
All shelves breath with your memories placed upon
them.
Now your wall became a precious gem.
So if someone should refer to a "SHELF is only a SHELF",
You now know how much of your Love can be
put on display."
