A Paperclip


The stack of papers is everything If she loses those papers She has lost all she has worked for And everything she built up on But she forgets the most important part Holding the valuables together A paperclip keeping them in order A paperclip bringing balance to them A paperclip holding them together They will never fall apart as long as it's there She will keep what she worked on safe As long as it's there But it's forgotten Because it's so small It's so simple It has no notes written upon it It's just a paperclip
