"this bench"

Trying to be 'arty' with my photos!

I have sat on this park bench so many times that I think I should claim it for my own! This is an old, paint chipped, weather beaten, metal framed park bench but for me it is full of character and I love it!!

On this bench laughter has filled the air between two friends, lonely tears have been shed, life decisions have been made, dreams have been fulfilled and hopes have been dashed!

"Upon this old familiar bench,
For which I've spent a time or two
Just gazing at the sky above....

....Upon this bench so old and worn,
That's scrawled and etched on every slat
Yet still to me so kind....

....Upon this bench on which I rest,
I think about how things have changed
Yet here they seem to be just the same
As times not long ago...."
