I wrote this poem after the death of my mother.
Small things with specific purposes
In the hands that originally held them.
To another, more emotional, no longer rational,
Items to be put gently away.
No longer useful. A memory.
Touched occasionally.
Remembered always. Cherished.
Inanimate objects with infinite value
In the hands that now possess them.

Infinite Value
A gel pen and two breath mints.Small things with specific purposes
In the hands that originally held them.
To another, more emotional, no longer rational,
Items to be put gently away.
No longer useful. A memory.
Touched occasionally.
Remembered always. Cherished.
Inanimate objects with infinite value
In the hands that now possess them.
