Poem

Sixteen minutes is all I had to grab what I hold dear,
now seven things left is all I have to always keep near. 

That set of six scrapbooks was the first I saved with pride, 
for they hold pictures of my Ella Rose growing up inside. 
Man, were they heavy since memories flooded every page,
but I held the strength to always keep them by my side. 
I would hate to not continue them as she begins to age. 

Three things of Karen’s I needed from her long ago past.
First her leather cross bracelet she wore when she passed.
Then I made sure I grabbed that poem we wrote to me, 
for I can’t imagine not seeing something so surpassed. 
No, I could not forget her old torn and worn brown hoodie. 

I ran upstairs to see what I could rescue from the fire,
I saw Ella’s pink bunny she sleeps with out of girly desire. 
When she was born I gave it to her as I cried so elated. 
I knew that bunny would be more important than any attire, 
to her it was the greatest thing that was ever created. 

Two things from Nick I had to get before it was too late.
One, a picture in high school of us on a special date. 
Then that poem he wrote me when I was down and blue,
I memorized it but I needed it, for it represents our fate. 
Without those two things I don’t know what I’d do. 

These seven things I rescued from a terrible fire in my home, 
but with them still in my life I know I shan’t ever be alone.
