Ring of Years Gone By

Dinner rings, popular then

Mom saw that I had one on my birthday

Long ago a a thirteen year old

I admired it from then on

And 50 years later

In a drawer it lays

For some unsuspecting girl to hold

For future generations to admire

The Vase

A vase from Grandpa Scott's family

Of the 1850's era 

On the dinning table 

In the middle of the house 

It's familiar placement lay.

Memories of years gone by

Made special as life goes on

Those "golden years" and simpler times 

A home quaint with possessions old and dear
