a time capsule created for my family |
Dear me, if you're reading this now Congratulations! You've lived almost thirty years longer than anyone thought you would be able to. To my girls, If you are reading this note instead it's because Death had the last laugh, or did I? It means I am no longer in pain or living a medicated life. A lot is going on in this world right now but I wanted to leave you with this these memories of happier times. Along with this letter, I have placed some things that I hold dear some little trinkets of meaning to me in this two thousand twenty first year Photos of you girls and Mark loves that stand the test of time each of you hold a piece of my heart and memories sublime. The little cat toy, a reminder of the kitties who have claimed me and recalls the amazing talent of Kat my first born beauty. this keychain of a tortoise to renew memories of Dank and for all the other herps a lizard shaped coin bank The little felted critter on which Lucy toiled long is yet another memory that in this box belongs For all the crazy doggos who've been faithfully by our side I've put in Chopper's collar may that bond never subside For Mark, I've placed this little heart bandaged but still whole a keepsake of our love and my heart that he stole. And finally, this video of things I wanted to say that I never got around to put off for another day Just know that I love you in life and in death and having you each in my life was worth Every. Single. Breath. Written For: "Promptly Poetry Challenge (2024-2025)" Week 13 Prompt: Remember 'time capsules'? Write a poem about what you'd put in one if you were to create one today.
