Collector's Item

COLLECTOR’S ITEM For some, they keep it a collection I kept mine as my recollection They are holding a priceless item I’m holding my loved ones’ memories as my gem They traveled to far-flung places to buy the famous one I went to the upstairs attic to revive the beauty that was gone Of my belongings where special moments keep holding In all walks of my life become a daily bonding For someone kept the painting of Monalisa I have my family’s portrait as my memorabilia For someone held the Beatles’ mono box set I have my son’s first recorded recital of his alphabet They’ve got the famous people’s autograph I’m always reading my wife’s letter resting on my lap It bears the years that would turn more invaluable What I’ve got are moments still alive and tangible They’re interested that it is rare, beautiful, and famous I am for them for it is normal, affectionate and joyous It will bring them to the pedestal of society I will be released from my anxiety Time is holding their preciousness Special moments keep us in oneness By time and craftsmanship are their limitations Inspiring memories and love, in time, will grow a forever connection Posted also in voicesnet.com Poetry Site on 28 September 2009
