On The Old Couch....
The sweetest smelling room
Just like mangoes
Filled with love, happiness, colour and character
I gaze at each photograph
That take me back in time
Thimbles, Lace
Portraits, babies.
Laughter captured
Not to be forgotten
Flowers
Sounds of the sea
Through a huge shell
A gift
Who the giver
Is not in my memory box
A Lizard crafted with gum leaves
On corrugated cardboard
A Monster Mask, Clayed
Coloured sketches of cherished loved ones
Memorabillia
Of Funeral collegues
All saying farewell
Business cards
My Funeral Pen
Photos too of an old special Choir
Bursting into song
This room,
Fills my heart
When I see just
Where I have been
Articles,
Amazing paintings
Each object priceless
All my memories enjoyed
On the hardest,
Most uncomfortable couch.....
Harder than an old school bus
Yet
This is soon forgotten
By the life of memories held in this room
My Memorabillia
My Treasures
Are Pure Gold
