Where does Mom keep her memories?
In a box worn beyond repair,
Tucked inside are memories,
Ask and she will gladly share.



Tattered Valentines "To Mommy With Love,"
Papers boasting "Good Work... Well Done!"
A hand print small and fragile,
Blue ribbons proudly won.



Macaroni shells that once formed a flower,
A baby picture smudged with kisses,
The first tooth the Fairy spared,
Cards of IOU's and loving wishes.



Where does Mom keep her memories?
In a box this precious cargo rests
Reminiscent of days long past,
This box of love is her treasure chest.
