Antiques

Thirty eight years has gone by Songs as old as baby's lullaby Still the two leather boxes has survive When she open with her key... to my surprise! There... greeting cards, flowers and letters White papers before... now brown colored Flowers earlier fresh red... now wilted but preserved Spotless written words ahead... now little blotted She said they are priceless and timeless Though, some laughed and said corny and useless Yet, from any gold or silver to her its invaluable For by these her distant love became possible As this the testimony of her love ...Embroidered and made perfect by God Her one and only true love ...No other than - my great dad. (c) Olive Eloisa 2:00 AM APRIL 11, 2014 Contest Name: Antiques Sponsor: Black Eyed Susan 5th Place.. Praise God! :) ________________________my most endearing mom.. :) thank GOD.. :)

The memories of young love flowing across miles of water; not only did it flourish, but it endured all obstacles of time :) // paul
