Family memories
that no one now remembers,
Family treasures
that are no longer treasured,
Stuffed in boxes
that once were in the attic
and now are in the closet
in the hall.
Family photos
don't know who -
they weren't labeled
Ancestors in black and white
and shades of grey.
Family memories
bits of paper, leather, rust
family treasures
slowly turning into dust.
