WHAT WE KEEP
by Karen C Vanderlaan → (All Poetry by Karen C Vanderlaan)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Things- tangible, solid, touchable
tokens to hold on to.
Objects to remind us
Where we have come from
Places, people, experiences
All that shapes who we are
And guides us to who we will become
Baby hair-three cherubs now grown
Dirt-home-the place I came from
The piece of earth grounding me when I am lost
Stones of love and of places I love
A single name, a never born child
A dream I thought I had
Security taken away
A belief, a song, an impossible love

The momentos of time and life are precious to the owner, whether they be such simple inanimate objects as a beach rock collected on a lovers midnight stroll on the beach or a full length movie of a child's birthday party. They are priceless to the one who wants them.
