Timeless Capsule Of Love Poem by Linda Barnes

Sitting on a wooden shelf
A pink round box is displayed
Inside holds priceless trinkets
Of a beautiful baby girl

A lock of hair that was clipped
Placed with love in a clear bag
And a heart shaped neckless
Which encircled her tiny neck

A white piece of clay
Holds an imprint of her foot
Tiny toes still visible
Never to walk on this Earth

A hospital bracelet given
To her mother to wear
Signifying the day of birth
Of a life that had not begun

Her DNA has been left
On all that she had touched
Which validates her existence
To those who loved her most

A timeless capsule of love
That holds what's left of her
Cherished by her mother
Sweet baby angel girl
