Trinkets

Tiny trinkets tucked away

Inside a secret treasure trove.

Melted memories much more dear than

Precious jewels or pirate’s gold.

Seldom viewed, but when renewed

The memories enchant the heart

To curve the wrinkle of a smile

More prized than any work of art.

 

Some may mock or minimize the

Value placed upon this prize,

The worth viewed only through the eyes

Of sweet remembrance.

A loving face, a fond embrace,

The touch, the glimpse of silk and lace,

A distant thought of time,

A place of

Joyful happenstance.

 

Fondest dreams are made of these

Small trinkets. I recall with ease

The nook where each one called to me

To leave a lovely memory.
