When people give us such mementos as these, they give us a part of ourselves. How precious that part and a treasure for us to cherish always. Tucked away in the Bible, reminding us all our lives that we are, we were loved. Your words made sad and grateful at the same time. Appreciated reading very much Chris!

You're young, don't fret about it. Sentimentality comes more as you grow older Ditzy :)

This made me think about my father's Bible. It was ragged and stuffed full of little things like tracings of children's feet, ancestors birthdays, and such. That's how it looked when I was a child. Now there's only a few of the pages left. Time wasn't kind to it, I guess, even though it held such treasures. Yours sounds like the same kind of depository for things precious. I'm sure you'll take good care of it.

Me too. The old bible hold important items dear Chris.
There are only a few, that when visited a good read is guaranteed, you being one of them Christine. Please tell me these take you a while to put together :))
The final verse hits hard to the heart.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're good, good enough to fill a book that would sell.
Hope all is well with you Christine

Thanks Gee. This was virtually off the cuff but that rarely happens! Thank you so much for your love.. read moreThanks Gee. This was virtually off the cuff but that rarely happens! Thank you so much for your lovely response. All's well here, hope the same for you.
Some words are meant to be remembered and cherished. We keep them amongst the pages we read, that transport us into remembering why they hold such cherished memories.
Beautifully penned. Deserving to be held within those pages itself.

Albert, my paternal grandfather introduced me to Tennyson when I was nine. I have loved poetry ever since but did not attempt writing a single piece until I was 40. It's never too late to try somethin.. more..
