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.
