Treasures

Treasures In my mind there is a box that no one ever sees It contains my treasures, it holds my memories Often I will look inside and I will taste again Something that I once had done, or someplace I have been I walk the paths of yesterday, to places past it wends Its way to unforgotten times, to unforgotten friends I drink the wine of ages, and celebrate the years And toast again my visions of laughter and of tears The oldest ones are brittle. The ink has faded some But this does not diminish the treasures they’ve become I’ve placed a lock upon this box, as it will always be The place that I have stored my life, irreplaceable to me Placed 3rd in Brian Strands A FREE CHOICE contest
