Echo's of Time
Echo of Time
A box of memories
Tattered and worn
Tarnished baby shoes
Years after their born
Holiday decoration
We cannot repair
A teddy bear torn
Won at an old state fair
Birthday pictures in black and white
Lines on the doorway measured their height
One cardboard box tells a lifetime of living
Closing my eyes I can see their sparkle in the night
I can smell the sea air; taste its salty brew
Laughter of siblings a sand castle or two
Will always be the echo calling up old times
Just like this old box full of tales and rhyme
Calling me through
An echo of time
Carole Cookie Arnold
