I Keep

 
"The loss is unmeasurable but so is the love left behind."

                                                   Quote_ Unknown

I
keep my
memories,
in an old chest,
there are pictures, albums and precious things.
Sometimes, I open that old chest with tears
so meaningful,
and fading,
dusty,
aged.
For
I must
not forget,
that I grieve them,
a family I loved with all my heart.
