Fragility

The tape that broke
Stopped
Snapped.
Wheels spilling
Tape not turning.
Silence
Memories not heard
Silence
Then patience
The tape is repaired
A joining of ends
Stuck
Happy memories
Once more.
A child's happy face
Grins with pleasure
Once again
The wheels turn
The tape plays.
Thanks Mummy.
It's green for go.
