She wears her life's true love uponHer breast - a gem - magnificent
And cherishes with all her heart
Its beauty and wonderment.
But also in some box she keeps
Bright colored beads she likes to own -
The light - the brief - the little loves
Of vanished girlhood she has known.

Thank you so much Lorraine, for sharing your wonderful photos with me!
The light the brief the little loves
ReplyDeleteOf vanished girlhood she has known.
So true and we carry on close to our hearts.
The jewelry of our childhood can never be replaced. It is always special. It was beautiful then in the eyes of the child and is still beautiful. Nice photo, Lorraine. And great poem, Margie.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Margie, I too would never try to replace the dazzling jewelry of my childhood, so precious to me.

ReplyDeleteColors - The jewelery that love wears
ReplyDeleteYou bring up a dear subject in this tiny poem, Margie.
ReplyDeleteGems are both the girl's and the woman's best friends - worn on the bossom and kept in some box.
The picture above is very beautiful and relevant to the words.
Makes me sad, I don't remember jewelry when I was young, I like it now. Beautifully written, lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I too keep jewelry in boxes, old trinkets from my childhood and every time I open these, I am taken back in time, surrounded by many memories...
ReplyDeleteWhat a poignant poem that every woman can relate to.
Have a lovely Monday dear Margie,
