TRINKETS
BOXES OF MEMORIES PACKED AND STORED
TRINKETS OF OLD TIMES STILL ADORED
YEARS OF BABY CLOTHES FOLDED UP NEAT
THE FIRST PAIR OF SHOES HE WORE ON HIS FEET
THE CRIB AND THE WALKER FOR GENERATIONS TO
COME
WILL REMEMBER WITH LOVE WHERE THEY CAME FROM
IN ANOTHER TRUNK IS HIS NEW BORN CLOTHS
AND UNDER IT ALL YOUR VERY FIRST ROSE
THEN ONE DAY YOU GO THROUGH IT ALL
AND FIND IN THE CORNER HER FIRST BABY DOLL
WITH JOY IN YOUR HEART, AND A TEAR IN YOUR
EYE
TO THE MEMORIES ONCE AGAIN YOU SAY GOOD-BY
