The Wooden Coaster

THUMP!
It hits the cheerless carpet,                
Doesn’t break because it is tough.
The wooden coaster is waiting patiently to be lifted by inquisitive hands,
serious, significant, special, piece of wood.
It has my initials on it,
It announces to me to take it everywhere I go
I got it on my birthday,
When i turned 10.
It sit’s there as motionless as a person,
Cramped cuts in the wooden coaster.
Brings back memories of me and my family,
Smells like mint,                                   
Memories from my birthday.          
It’s medium size,
It sits patiently to feel like it belongs.
