********************************
Kellie Elmore is nostalgic this Friday challenging writers to examine none other than…
********************************
Keepsakes
Attic nooks, garage floors, closet corners
Full of clutter
Crates and cartons, cardboard boxes, packages and parcels
Nothing but junk
Paper sacks, bags and bundles, stacks and piles
Ready for the trash
Shoe boxes, jewelry cases, and plastic containers
Overflowing with treasure
Clutter, junk, trash, and treasure
My, oh, my how the time has flown
All personal collections, priceless beyond measure
Keepsakes renew old memories
I think I will just leave them alone
And go bake some brownies

Confession: I must confess this poem is from my book Echoes. With my husband’s illness and recent release from the hospital, my mind just wasn’t up to a new write today. Even though he is home, there are still many hurdles to cross. Kellie’s theme this week actually focuses on that one special something cherished beyond measure. However, when I saw the theme key word, I knew the one I needed to share.
Am I forgiven since I confessed? Hugs!
Now I am off to see what others have written…
