MOTHBALL DREAMS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dust swirls, tiny ghosts, Granny’s trunk spills mothball dreams~ Lace yellowed with time, A pressed violet remembers her laughter climbing the stairs.

Oh, Sara you have captured sweet memories of your grandmother through her trunk! This reminds me of the sights and scents of my grandmother's cedar chest! Thank you for this lovely moment! Congratulations on your win! Blessings and hugs! Okay, you get the crown!
