Forget Me Nots

Such wondrous things that come to you from travels far and wide. Trinkets and knick knacks you keep somewhat near at hand, and never too far from your side. Throughout life's journeys You'll check on them for fear they'll be left behind. Being of meaningful purpose; that's remembered whenever they cross your mind. Naively not that you're rashly in love; although of them your feelings are warm and kind. Solely fond memories of notable times; ergo they're ne'er out of place nor ever hard to find 'Tis odd you must hold onto them whether your abode's a fancy home or merely a shared cot. You realize as long as they're safely tucked away, in the place of "Forget Me Nots"; You're strangely better off with them__even if they're all that you have or got. ~~~ w 11172018

""Trinkets and knick knacks you keep" - every once in awhile I get rid of a whole bunch of them, to make room for new memories.

Yes of course! for sure ... make room for new. However, with me... there are the ones, the very old ones that seem to stick around... like the old pair of pants that missed the rummage cycles, and that rock my daughter gave me.... and the car that use to set on my office desk.... and the letter my other daughterrrrrrrr
