Family Heir Looms

A poem about the key stages of life.

Family Heir Looms

Soft Blanket

Friendly face

Suck thumb

Hug Mum



Hair plaits

Puddle splash

Hold Hands

Best friends



Blemished face

Alcohol taste

Ballpoint pens

Worst friends



On one knee

In the park

Crunch of leaves

"Yes, please"



Silver rings

Pretty things

Wedding cake

Love make



New life

Late nights

Night night

Cry cry



Greying strands

Holding hands

Tarnished rings

Wrinkled skin



Sunken eyes

Purple veins

Thin frame

No smile.
