Material Memories

Little trinket gather on her nightstand.
Each holding powerful memories.

The cowbell decorated with colors,
 from her once so dear football team.
It's always been louder than others,
 showing through with a prideful beam.

The hand painted rock,
 with the sun and white fluffed clouds,
serves as a key to a lock,
 to a time her voice was outspoken and loud.

The blue rubber duck,
 a dear friend gifted.
It reminds her of her luck,
 because she couldn't have had a friend more fitted.

The small rubber bracelet, that a group had 
made. She wishes to see them again.

The small doll with a big heart, 
 a pass love had given her.
She apologizes every night.

she holds these memories close,
For they are so dear to her heart.

She dreams with them near,
 and she has no fears.
