My little truth tin❤️

I wrote my name on a  scrap of paper
I told a truth about the briney sea
Adding about my life as a fisherman’s daughter
Coz that was from the very heart of me

I said how I met a young country lad
In my local favourite dance
Well we both were ‘Oh so young’ that night
But our destiny led to romance

Well a couple of years down the line
We got engaged, then we were wed
Ten years moved on,
We had three girls
Our parents passed & tears were shed

I folded my ditty as small as I could 
I placed it in a tiny coloured tin
Including a few of my family photographs
I locked my life within

Under floorboards of my dwelling
This is where this creation does lie
I’ve left a small legacy to tell the tales from all my years gone by

God only knows how long it shall be
Before some stranger will open my tin
I can only hope it’s findings bring them joy
Discovering these inhabitants wherein

This bungalow has been my home for over forty fortunate years
Betwixt happiness & lifes long stories told
Children running around full of cheers
From tiny tots to growing old

My married life has passed Oh so fast
With countless memories for me to treasure
I pray the person that reads my verses
Will look upon it with happiness & pleasure❤️
