Mother’s Jewelry Box

Her first promise ring
Our bead and string creations
1980’s plastic earrings
The poppy for Great-Grandpa
And the engagement ring that the diamond
Fell out of on the day my sister was born
The day my mother
Fell out of life

Great images here. I remember my mom's jewelry box..similar such treasures. I also remember a purple bottle of Evening in Paris sitting on her dresser...an old, cheap perfume. Boy, you are making me pull up some memories here.

Now that is a crafted image which grabs hard and does not let go.

Keepsakes are the out-takes of a life's play, all jumbled together they have startling impact.

Thank you for sharing this.
