(( Songbird commented upon my poem Derelict....which planted the seed for this poem )) See the antiques on her shelf to her they are the same today as once they were upon the day she smiling came Standing on the magic boat that brought her cross the Sea packed within her suitcase heirlooms of family She met a man and married and as her babies grew she bought new things to cherish love though they wore out barely used Her husband gone and babaies grown and all the world has changed silvered hair where fire was a ' relic ' she became And now she sits with memories like the heirlooms on her shelf " They don't make them like this anymore" sweet old ' relics ' like herself. ~Which way did They go? How many of Them were there? I MUST find Them!! I AM THEIR LEADER!!~ Author Unknown..well at least to me..:) |

Awww...beautiful Sol! I only hope, in my life, the cherished relics are as dear...  ~~Jamie I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

This is sweet, Sol. What a lovely comparison you have made. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

This was sweet Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Yep! They don't make 'em like that anymore. How ture... how true. Liked the sentiment on this one. Thanks for sharing. |

It's sad that when a person gets older, they are often considered "relics" You did a fine job with this. Betty Lou Hebert |
