Forgotten Treasure

Rummaging through the heaped rubbish

In the attic we’ve filled with our lives

Half-buried, I came across ..this…

That we had  treasured more than most.

A used-up piece of our past lives.

Valued, because we had nothing else.

I thought, perhaps, I’d clean it up;

Spend some time, and make it work again.

But, somehow, I couldnít see us,

Giving value to this relic … now…

Of when our world had nothing but…

Love.
