Alphabe Thursday - "K" is for Keepsake - December 9, 2010
"K" is for keepsake,
These give me such pleasures,
Acquired in my travels,
They're my own special treasures.
Others are sent,
By friends far away,
Whenever I touch them,
They brighten my day.
I've a whole herd of elephants,
Of all shapes and sizes,
From exotic locales,
They were wonderful surprises.
From my visit to India,
I found bangles galore,
Unique and so special,
I had to have more!
I've at least fifty strawberries,
The non edible kind,
Fine china and art work,
All beautifully designed.
I just couldn't send,
My mom's owls to Goodwill,
So they're my new collection,
And reside with me still.
I've outgrown the unicorns,
And have dozens to send,
To a lovely young girl,
Who will become their new friend.
I hold tight to my keepsakes,
And can only let go,
If they're given to someone,
Who will treasure them so!
