Evolving – Dissolving

His architectural pen sets

Our golden wedding wine goblets

 

Bobby’s baby foot imprints

Lizzie’s first mother’s day card with her hand prints

 

His old college sweaters

 All my secret love letters

 

The art room easel stand

Mother’s pearl strand

 

The library full of dad’s treasured books

My brother’s collection of pruning hooks

 

The kitchen red roaster clock

My old teenage diary with broken lock     

 

All of these will be sent apart

While my life sits with a weeping broken heart

 

Since time has chosen this fateful day

To take me away to some other stay.
