TOKENS FROM THE PAST
Inside a box that’s tied with string,
My promise ring.
Two locks of hair,
One dark, one fair.
The blueprint for the house we chose.
A faded rose.
Love beads of blue.
Our photos, too.
Old letters stained with tears I cried,
When our love died.
Mementoes, these.
Sad memories.

A BOX FROM YESTERDAY
Inside this box that looks so old . . .
A chain of gold,
My wedding dress,
A small brown tress,
Favored photos, yellowed by time,
A penciled rhyme,
A dried bouquet,
A rose sachet,
Bride and groom from atop my cake,
A bell to shake,
Rice thrown at me,
And memory.
1/7/89 Phyllis DeWitt-VanVleck
