Keepsakes

In an old biscuit tin 
With my bits and pieces put in
That remind me of our times
And things that are always mine

I take them out sometimes
For reminding me of a memory fine
Each piece wiped bright again
Before placed carefully back in

I only bring them out when I’m alone
So my tears are not to you shown
Their touch closes my eyes
Bringing you out in my memory alive.
