Her collection spanned the years:
old photos and cards, well worn
books with dog-eared pages,
an odd assortment of furniture
that no one else wanted.
Perhaps she saw a bit of herself
in each piece rescued—
each looking for love
and a place to call home.

ReplyDeleteYou summed up the prompt beautfully.
ReplyDeleteoh i am sure they all have meanings....all the relics and treasures we keep of our live do....smiles.
ReplyDeleteI think that would apply to many of us as we get older...
ReplyDeleteEvery piece has a memory.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written.
This reminds me of a room in my mother's home--hundreds of photos in standing up frames. Must take a photo. I already wrote a poem about it.
ReplyDeleteSuch is life.. we have those memories.. and they might become a little worn (real or not).. you found something real in that picture.
ReplyDeleteI love this...made me think of my mom.
ReplyDeletenicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by. Our family own a thrift store. It is lots of fun to work there. It is full of five generations of history.
ReplyDeleteLovely sentiment and image, Ginny. That search for a place to call "home" is universal and you capture it most poetically.
ReplyDeleteI like the thought of certain items holding arts of us within. Beautifully written.
