What's Going On....Keepsake

 a bracelet

that has not left my wrist

for many years

a keepsake

of you

i know it has a story

but never asked

you never told

best left with the other family secrets

no one wants to speak of

  1. Interesting and intriguing, Rall. I do wonder what the story was, but - you are right - sometimes it is better to leave some stories with other family secrets. I wish you had shown us a picture of this bracelet. I will come back later and see if perchance there is one.

    1. Ah, I see the bracelet now! I wonder who wore it through the years. If only it could talk!

  2. Keepsakes are always full of stories I guess.

  3. Wow, I would love to know the story behind it.......hopefully a lovely romantic one. Smiles. And lovely that you wear it in memory of its former wearer.

  4. Maybe it's enough that it is "a keepsake / of you." And if there are secrets, they might be too small a container for all you want to remember. You're wise to let it be.
