Cellophane and Ribbon
By: Felix Perry
Our love is wrapped in cellophane
Tied up with a golden bow
Put up on the ledge to admire
Funny you didn’t know
Some offer us warm sentiments
They think our loves so grand
As it neatly sits on full display
They fail to understand
That cellophane and ribbon
Can hide the love’s tiny flaws
Keep our problems out of sight
Like Dorothy lost in Oz
Pretty paper pretty ribbons
Like Roy Orbison used to sing
Two people acting out a scene
Wearing golden wedding rings!

I know you were just testing to see if I'm watching you. You didn't mention that Pretty Paper was written by Willie.
Later bro, June is coming.

What a write and what a mind and heart you have!
YOU got to FEEL it to WRite it!
Peace and WArmest Blessings! WArmly, Lady Sheeeoox
There is much truth in your poem. We can get lost sometimes in the external dresssings, in the activities, in the display, and we lose what truly matters. Fortunately, the inner meaning and value may be rediscovered, and then it is no longer "two people acting out a scene."
Blessings,

if they both took the time and remembered what got them their maybe they would/could have a chance
sad bit of reality
This muse was so wonderful but it is also so true many just hide behind two golden bands acting out the marriage. I loved the offering of this one.
Peace,

All the cellophane and ribbons add up through the years...They add up to many wonderful and remembered times.

Great lines, Fee, which allow the reader to take that walk between the Cellophane and Ribbon, along the Yellow Brick Road! Somehow, it seems to all work out all right, so that we will end up...Somewhere Over the Rainbow!!
Enjoyed this very much!
Love, Rhonda
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
