Valuables

Fragile antiques
Old doll houses
and old love letters from the spouses
16 year old yearbooks
with old fashioned looks
Old musty smells 
and cracked Christmas bells
Worn teddy bears 
on 3 legged chairs
Pink fluffy mess
an ugly vintage dress
Red rusty bike
whose brand is Tike
Chipped tea cups
in boxes from UPS
Dusty record player
a plastic dragon slayer
Faded white onesies 
and pink-purple ponies
Beautiful dream catchers
The tape Body Snatchers
Old cooking books 
and rusty fishing hooks
Brown roller skates
in bright yellow crates
Shiny awards
your husbands old swords
Halloween costumes
and old perfumes
A blue cassette tape
a carnival stuffed ape
 
Things we keep
Things we reminisce 
Things we'll never ever miss
Things that once made us ecstatic
Our valuables up in the attic

Cabana

Hot summer nights
With you is alright
Under the cabana
Talking all night

Happy is what I feel
I know you’ll never ever leave 
Cus’ were as strong as steal

Cold winter days
I wish could stay
To spend with you
As we lay 

Oh everything’s alright
On any kind of night
Either in a cabana
Under stars that are bright
Or in a city
With the bright city lights
Oh it doesn’t matter 
As long as I’m with you
To love and hold tight
