Like heirlooms in a treasure chest,
we store away our memories,
the ones that make us feel we're blessed -
those special moments that we seize.
Like heirlooms in a treasure chest
that keep their sparkle through the years,
the happy times outweigh the rest -
inspiring smiles and drying tears.
Like heirlooms in a treasure chest,
each milestone we collect as pearls.
When strung together we're impressed
by how Gods loving grace unfurls.
Like heirlooms in a treasure chest,
my family's my pride and joy.
The prize of any mother's quest
is love that time cannot destroy.

Author Notes
Kyrielle
A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.
