A Treasure Box Of Precious things 

 A Treasure Box Of Precious Things

I have a treasure box of precious things
Of broken vows, and, a golden wedding ring

Of happy times and sad ones too
Pictures of our wedding when, we vowed to be true

I have cards from my friends,
and loved ones, too
Some happy and some blue

Broken promises, and precious things
Shattered dreams and a golden wedding ring
A picture made, by my granddaughter,
Made with buttons and bows 
Sweet smelling savor, of dried once rose

 You walked away, that day of sorrow
Then I knew for you and, I there was no tomorrow
I have times of joy, and times of sorrow

 I have a treasure box, of precious things 
Of broken dreams and, a golden wedding ring

In this box of precious things I place the pieces, of my broken heart 
The memories tucked away, in the pages of my mind
a brand new life, I must start

In my treasure box, of precious things
Memories of another time, and a golden wedding ring

I close the lid on these precious things 
I know after the winter, will come the spring 
Of memories new, and different songs to sing

A treasure box, of precious things 
A once worn golden wedding ring

I will seal this box, and put it away
This is the beginning, of a brand new day
