Heirlooms

Some families have heirlooms

Passed down often through the years

So their legacy will not be one

That somehow disappears.

 

Whether jewelry or furniture

Or curios or art,

Certain object in a family

May play a vital part.


There might even be some squabbles,

For inheritance is rife

With the problems of possessions

Valued in a person's life.


Though my heirlooms weren't many

From the family reservoir,

I am proudly in possession

Of my grandma's cookie jar.
