Trinket
A Poem Centered Around Conflicting Feelings of Love
you can keep me in a locket,
a tangled gold chain bouncing
against your chest as you carry me
wherever your traveling feet roam.
i can be your prized possession,
a lucky ring accompanying you
to every last performance.
show me off like i'm a trinket
kept hidden from the world until
the safest of eyes surround me.
treat me like a keepsake
loaded with memories of late night
rambles under the milky way
and the feeling of my fingers
exploring your sea of skin.
keep me in a safe
like a forgotten treasure,
and i'll continue to watch
as you leave the key behind
again and again.

National Senior Citizens Day (April 21)
We are fortunate to live in a time when so many of our elderly are living lives of unexpected health and financial security, but such was not always the case. Throughout history old age was not something an individual expected to reach, and so we lost the wisdom and experience of these individuals at an early age. Senior Citizen Day celebrates the fact that these keepers of wisdom are staying with us longer each year, and in better health.
