It carries my memories
preciously banded with years of dust
seemingly cold letters on the pages
vividly comes alive with feelings
it binds the footsteps of life
A soft caress from the stories that live inside
some pages carry stones of hardships
contradicted by the tango of light – romance and love
It is me – Inked in a tattoo of words
history captured on brittle paper
someday my daughter will breathe
the words of memories that I lived
A box of treasures
A little piece of me
From beginning to end
