Memories Lost!
If I never throw anything out surely they’ll be here somewhere…
My stomach dropped to my boots
Where are they?
What a stupid thing to lose
Are they still in this home of ours?
Some believe they steal your soul
But these photos meant the world to me
So where are they? Where can they be?
I must have put them somewhere safe
So safe it can’t be detected now.
My wedding album. What a thing to lose
How?
Never throwing a thing away
Should keep things safe
But it hasn’t worked in this case, hey?
Buried under a pile of things
I might need one day
I can only hope they still safely lie
Beneath the household bedlam
Of overcoats and books
I’m almost scared to look
In case that’s still untrue
But look I will
Oh thank goodness
I can see the battered box from here
Within another box that’s clear
See, I did put them somewhere safe
Free from flood or weather
The pictures taken on that far off day we officially got together.
