We store important papers
In
a fire-proof metal box,
Which
isn’t really that secure,
Not
having codes or locks.
It’s
where we keep our passports,
Title
to the car and deed,
Plus
a bunch of envelopes with notes
That
we no longer need.
But
it was fun to sort through
Items
sitting there for years,
Like
certificates and paperwork
From
both of our careers.
My
favorite find contained a list
Of
wedding gifts galore
We
received from friends and family,
Many
on this earth no more.
A
coffee pot, a vase, a wok
And
an electric knife
And
lots of checks both large and small
To
start our married life.
We
tossed outdated papers
But
I couldn’t quite resist
Holding
on to just a few, including
Our
old wedding list.
