Antiques
Thirty eight years has gone by
Songs as old as baby's lullaby
Still the two leather boxes has survive
When she open with her key... to my surprise!
There... greeting cards, flowers and letters
White papers before... now brown colored
Flowers earlier fresh red... now wilted but preserved
Spotless written words ahead... now little blotted
She said they are priceless and timeless
Though, some laughed and said corny and useless
Yet, from any gold or silver to her its invaluable
For by these her distant love became possible
As this the testimony of her love
...Embroidered and made perfect by God
Her one and only true love
...No other than - my great dad.
