Heirlooms

Some families have heirlooms Passed down often through the years So their legacy will not be one That somehow disappears. Whether jewelry or furniture Or curios or art, Certain objects in a family May play a vital part. There might even be some squabbles, For inheritance is rife With the problems of possessions Valued in a person’s life. Though my heirlooms weren’t many From the family reservoir, I am proudly in possession Of my grandma’s cookie jar.

My, my, I have a favorite cookie jar, too, Ilene. Mine is the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland, and I call him "Penny Rabbit" because he used to be a catch-all for my loose change. Love the piece, BTW.
