A Once Found Object
She was a gentle and careful woman
and when she'd found something so fragile
she had taken it,
carefully and gently,
and tended to it,
patiently and lovingly.
Then,
returning to where it had first attracted her,
repaired where she could repair,
and strengthened where she could strengthen,
she replaced, carefully and tenderly,
a better thing than that she'd found.
