Sentimental Treasures Cleaning out the closet I discovered a box Tied with a ribbon of long ago Battered and forlorn from too many moves Forgotten, tattered and torn Oh! but the treasures locked inside! Many sentimental treasures I found. There were memories I’ve forgotten Of melodies sung Trinkets of lovely sounds A button, a necklace, a round river rock Some theater tickets from a forgotten show I was holding a lifetime of memories, Tied with a beautiful bow. It made me wonder What our children would think If discovered after we were gone Would they realize? They held our life In the palm of their hand. Could they feel the romance in our soul? After a few tears were shed I once more hid the box Anticipating our next anniversary I reflected on the joy with you I would share. What a treasure to find unexpectedly!                                     Kenny Merrel            View site map
