Read the poem.
The Softest Threads
Just because the sleeves are tight,
The neck is torn and the dirt won’t go,
Doesn’t mean that I won’t fight.
This is my favourite shirt, you know.
The spot you most want me to hide
Happened during the greatest pass.
Across the field, I dashed way wide;
I caught the ball and a streak of grass!
Soaked by the rain, dried in the sun,
Battered by wind from the sky,
These are the world’s softest threads.
I simply will not say goodbye.
