Belongings

It's so bizarre, the things that come to hold value over time...
 
The mundane things that travel with us through the decades
 
The reminisce...
 
A random out of focus photograph, the only evidence of an old friend long missed
 
A seashell collected by your now grown child while on family holiday
 
The melancholy...
 
A faded patch of flower power cloth your mum once used to iron over your school uniform
 
A ribbon from an event you performed in at a time when you were more agile

The sentimental...
 
A screw driver with rod of a durable alloy that they don't make anymore
 
An aftershave bottle of your grandfathers, with none of the scent remaining but in your memory bank
 
The nostalgic...
 
A lone costume earring last seen with its twin on your honeymoon
 
A broken garden pot from the days before you downsized
