Heirlooms

Some families have heirlooms
Passed down often through the years
So their legacy will not be one
That somehow disappears.

Whether jewelry or furniture
Or curios or art,
Certain objects in a family
May play a vital part.

There might even be some squabbles,
For inheritance is rife
With the problems of possessions
Valued in a person’s life.

Though my heirlooms weren’t many
From the family reservoir,
I am proudly in possession
Of my grandma’s cookie jar.
