Little Treasures Occupy Space Little treasures occupy space, fond memories are every place They don’t come to visit her now, but she remembers it all some how She holds them forever in her heart and looks around when tear drops start At little treasures that occupy space and bring a smile to her lonely face School pictures at every age, ballerinas on gymnasium stages Ribbons won in spelling bees and a collection of little league trophies A row of bronzed baby shoes mounted together in sets of twos Little treasures occupy space and bring a smile to her lonely face Pages have yellowed with time in the children’s books left behind Odd statues molded in clay sit on the shelf still today Dried flowers from someone’s prom, loving poems written to Mom Little treasures occupy space and bring a smile to her lonely face Diplomas on the bedroom wall, wedding pictures line the hall Old letters are safe in a drawer to read again when she gets bored Little things that don’t seem like much, to her they’re a world of love Little treasures occupy space and bring a smile to her lonely face The TV plays now just for sound replacing voices no longer around An old dog sleeps on a rug nearby, a warm body to hold when she cries Now she lives in a rocking chair with pieces of the past surrounding her there And little treasures that occupy space and bring a smile to her lonely face � Sandy Morgan 1994

Sandy, this is so true, and so sad. My mom died June 5, 2002, in
a nursing home, surrounded by her memories. Thank you so much for
your eloquent touch of words.
