A Shoebox Full of Photos

Looking on memories
with magnificent lovers
and significant others
Must I hide them to be your friend?

Sharing life's few pleasures
like walks on trails
or watching white sails
at sunset high on a bluff.


We can brag on our children
or talk of our achievements
or even our bereavements
excitedly waiting with something to say.


What is it you want,
do I toss this precious box
or hide it with special locks
are my memories the price I must pay?
