    PARSLEY

     Off to the side of the plate, adding aesthetic quality to the offering;
    Moved around and around, until eventually placed aside;
    Then, tossed out with the scraps, its decorative purpose over;
    I have served as the garnish at so many of your meals;
    I would much rather have been the meat & potatoes.

    I think everyone has at one time or another been relegated to being simply cosmetic to another's life... they sure want us around, but can easily discard our value as a person upon a whim.... good write.....

    thanks for your comment...and you are so right...people's values can get screwed up.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
