Precious Moments
Cherry wood accents, glass entombed
precious moments captured, enshrined
antique curio cabinet, bring me back in time
that porcelain doll, great gram's pearl
painted piercing eyes still reflecting her love
thoughts of Mimi, now in heaven above
that vintage mantle clock, octagonal design
all the years sitting on Dad's desk,
can't remember the last time it ticked,
but I still recall the nights watching you hard at work
sitting and pondering over a pile of bills and letters
oh how those days were so much better
there are many different figurines and collector plates
I can't even recall what they are there for
But there is one picture I just can't get past
I often stop and just stare
wishing you were still here
the little playful smile
always lighting up a room when you walked in
those deep caramel eyes, able look past all the smoke and mirrors
deep into someone's soul
oh how I long to hold
oh how I long to feel
oh how I long to be
be one with you again
