The Gift That I Give You

the gift that I give you is a pair of my old black polished shoes, worn out at edges with a tear or two, keep as my memory, please don’t refuse, worn when carried you, maternity use! wrapped in paper is a lock of my hair, saved from those days when I was young and fair, just to remind I was not always old, think of me young, when you bury me cold! you will find in my dusty old suitcase, a little frock with decorative lace, my hand made gift, was for your first birthday, replete with love, when meagre was my pay. Photos, memories ~ plenty in that bag, clothes I wore, you will find many such rag, I shall hold you in heart at my last breath, all my motherly love to you I bequeath!
