Of Wonderful Magical Things

Do you have things just things secreted in a box a drawer
Little things, these little things, do you need them anymore?
A rubber band a paper clip the ribbon that once bound
The letters from love you lost or of love you recently found
An Airline ticket stub, memory of your first trip abroad
Restaurant or theatre receipt, something that you adored
A button a bow you kept, from that crimson dress
The one you wore that night, intention to impress
A faded photograph relives, those salad days of youth
Your Daughters curly lock, your Sons very first tooth
Old calling cards with numbers, hand written on the back
Memory failure here, who on earth is that?
A few watch strap links, your diet it was successful
Things just things memories of times less stressful
A broken fountain pen, you remember what it wrote
A letter a poem a book or simply a love note
We need this personal treasure-trove, and the pleasure that it brings
With all those memories stored therein of wonderful magical things
