Up in the attic
Down on my knees,
Lifetimes of boxes
Timeless to me.
Letter and photographs
Yellowed with years
Some bringing laughter
Some bringing tears.
Time never changes
The memories, the faces
Of loved ones, who bring to me
All that I come from
And all that I'm going to be.
My precious family
Is more than an heirloom to me.
