Treasure Case – v7

Family memories,
scraps and treasures,
preserved on shelves,
behind panes of glass, or
frozen there on the wall.

Most without note, provenance,
those will be lost with the passing of
the matriarch, her memory,
of the things, their deep meaning,
how they matter to us.

Triggers of stories, feelings,
smell, touch, connectedness
the living of our family
framed, saved, treasured
these living pieces of us.
