[bodytext] => Stars dance as the sky sings its nightly tune As she sits quietly within her darkening room Upon her lap, she holds her most precious box The one she keeps hidden under her socks With a shaking hand, she does lovingly caress The lid that`s covered with cloth from a favorite dress Within lies the sum total of the life she has led The keepsakes that keep her failing memory fed There`s hair cut from her first born baby boy Her daughter`s drawing that still brings her joy A corsage her one true love pinned that day They talked and danced the whole night away A cameo that once graced her mother`s chest Even as it`s tarnished, the memory`s one of her best A picture of the family she raised with great pride Though now they have little time to spend by her side She wonders if each prize lying on the worn red velvet Will remain alive to her long after the lid is shut She struggles to burn each memory deep in her head Before time leaves her with blank pages instead Sighing, she closes her eyes and smiles as she rocks Soon it`ll be time to hide her box underneath her socks Dawn begins its frothy song as her mind grows tired Yet within her heart, her keepsakes are firmly mired [comments] => 3 [counter] => 198 [topic] => 48 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
