Memories Don’t Let Them stray

I’ve held you carefully together,
for so many years in the past,
making sure  I’d never lose you,
making sure that you would last.

Reading between the lines,
Each and every single day,
Hold close in my memory,
Those things, that can’t go astray.

 You have aged so well,
Your colour has faded some,
Even with your wrinkles
You’re still my precious one.

I look at you each day,
With a love I cannot hide,
Holding you dear to my heart,
never letting one day slide.

I hope that others will accept you,
And know you are from the start,
For my words I’ve saved on paper,
Were written from within my heart.

 I’ll tuck you safely in a folder,
Though you’re wrinkled with age.
Others will read you as my memories past,
Written on each and every faded page.
