Start to Refinish Gnarled wood grain fingers string together and along to join knotholes of character to be this beautiful floor Pleasant texture on rice paper feet White on buttercup planks Cream and cake, sweet harmony A song of play and delicate craftsmanship Great care taken in both steps One with the rhythmic weight of saw blades Hungry ripping tigers eating smooth edges to marry in uniform square feet The other a pitter-patter wisp of hide and seek Soft sheen for little feet as far as the eye can see Pleasing the payers of three months wages Wowing in-laws and neighbors alike Hand scraped down to the envy A source of great pride for the family The perfect space for this little girl sliding through spilling purple ribbons of beverage Red sauce nickels under foot as a puppy scritchy scratches upstairs downstairs and the bit by the door Stains eventually give way to divots divots to dull spots and scrapes The noble hardwood gives way to inevitable age Its hewn majesty forgotten, the old couple pays to have carpet laid for a quick sale Junk yarn glued on even the few good bits Covering the hope of fresh grain in pad and rug Still noble oak beneath Hidden under what would be just a few machined layers deep Perfect wood sleeping soundly Waiting patiently for a craftsman and some new tiny feet
