Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My Treasure Box

I fill my little treasure box
With things that people say
Each one a precious tender note
To bring joy to my day

And when life turns from friend to foe
When days are long and drear
I pull each little keepsake out
To fill my heart with cheer

The words you say, the words you write 
Leave echoes in my heart
The sweet resounding dulcet chimes
From me will not depart

For I am one in love with words,
and what each one conveys
The ones that are so genuine
touch me in many ways

So thank you for you gift of words
wrapped up in bows of love
The blessings that these words impart
are what my heart dreams of

Frederic Parker July 4, 2025 at 7:17 PM Eileen, dear poet, This poem placed a picture in my mind of a poetess sitting in candlelight, reading words she has read before, bringing her comfort and warmth...Frederic Eileen Manassian July 4, 2025 at 9:34 PM That's exactly the image it was to evoke. Thank you so much for visiting me, Frederic. I've been away for some time. So good to read your lovely comment. Blessings.
