I’m a Keeper You can’t quite call me a packrat I don’t keep ‘round such stuff but I’ll keep a rock or piece of leather a wild turkey’s feather with some fluff and I tend to keep old birthday cards and letters, photos, nope, can’t discard letters of hope and cheer and such obituary notices so I don’t lose touch then I keep those little thoughts that creep in night and day little thoughts of whim and hope that help me abide in times of cope I keep old clothes in hopes of thin and keep fat clothes I know how I am I keep old candles just in case and locks of hair I can’t replace I keep my teacups and angels close and a bit of shell from a Florida coast I keep my music close to me and I cherish all my memories I keep my word I keep my keys I keep my shy close to me I keep routine of the day I keep the comfort of when I pray I keep the feeling when on the land of walking beside eternal command I keep the wisdom of past ages and keep the language of the sages I keep your words the ones of life the ones of love those of strife I keep them safe in my library and quite glad I have that key I keep my friends all the time and very glad to call them mine I keep my heart till I give it to you yes, I’m a keeper through and through |

I love this poem, I'm such a "keeper" myself. I keep everything if it has even the littlest memory for me. Anyway, beautifully written, happily read. Thank you. |

I hear your poem Sunshine. As I read your lines I think of the many things I keep. A lock of hair when my son was a babe. A cassett, his voice when he was little and my sister who is now deceased, her voice with my mother ,now deceased, laughing having so much fun. Letters from the past that I hold dear. New friends and their poetry. Love this one cause I do understand the meaning. Love Bon-Bon  |

 (smiles) Oh Karilea, we all must have something to collect, sweet friend, I believe life is all about finding relationships between so many random things and painting that grand fresco or collage on your bulletin board of you, and among it all, the friends are always the centerpiece! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
