~ An Hour
With You~
Special notes from
family
old photo's turning gray
some poetry, love letters
scripts, from acting days
Ticket stubs from movies
concerts, parks, events
overflowing albums
of each vacation spent
A cub scout shirt, kids drawings
gymnastics suit and books
grandson's pair of slippers
all tucked in attic's nook
Birthstones of Mom's children
set in golden band
posters, special pictures
siblings, holding hands
Locks of hair, a tee shirt
brother's favorite caps
shells picked by the seaside
white sand from Iraq
Knick knacks wrapped in tissue
all precious to my heart
scribbles on lined paper
anniversary, birthday cards
Roses pressed in Bible
diplomas, ribbons blue
music from the 50's
pair of baby shoes
Elvis 'n the Beatles
glossies still like new
newspapers of John Kennedy
Martin Luther, too
Almanacs and journals
history, its recourse
clippings of disasters
storms with raging force
Grandma's favorite pendant
an Uncle's World War tags
scrapbook made by daughter
an older American Flag
Days now gone remembered
of long past yesteryears
a part of me, eternal
with smiles or salty tears
An old trunk full of mem'ries
my keepsakes neatly stored
now looking back, reflecting
reliving each, once more
