"For Aunty" Up in the attic, tucked away, I found a dusty box today. I was surprised to see within Old photographs of kith and kin. But mostly children, I discerned And there was little to be learned. Very few had a notation Indicating the relation. They were charming, every one. Someone's daughter and someone's son. All caught in perfect imagery And showing how they used to be. Girls wore large ribbons in their hair. The boys had such a manly stare. The dresses trimmed with flounce and lace. Every curl hung in its place. High buttoned shoes and slippers too, But there were smiles on just a few. Most are sober and even sad And there's one picture of a lad That says:"For Aunty".Aunty who? I stare at it and wish I knew. There are three sets of twins, I see, But who they are is a mystery! Though many of them have no name, I'm going to keep them just the same. I'll make a large, collage display And let them see the light of day. They are too sweet to hide away!

Joyce: Thanks. I posted this a couple of years ago on the site we both used, before moving to Passions. I wondered if you would remember it. Good memory! Betty Lou Hebert |
