Fitting | Matthew Clegg

The shirt fit the boy perfectly.
Not just in size, but the color matched his eyes.
Anywhere he went the boy knew,
How good he looked with it,
And his confidence grew.
It was his favorite shirt.

Time passed on, and the boy changed as folks do.
Not just in size, but personality too.
The boy, now a young man, was sorting old clothing,
When he found in the drawer his favorite shirt from before.
Though he had changed, the shirt had not,
It was quite different from the clothes he presently bought.
“And yet,” thought the man “isn’t it strange?
If the shirt were the style and color I like now,
It wouldn’t fit me anyhow.”
