K – Keepsakes

Through the years I have collected many,
simple novel things that I held so dear.
In times of need I looked to them for comfort,
and they never failed to keep away my fears.

But there was one that I always kept with me,
one that reminded me that you're always there.
And when my son asked me 'why?' one sunny day,
I was more than obliged, glad to share.

'You see, it holds more than just my keys,
it is more than just the word 'yes'.
It is the keeper, your beautiful mother,
who gave me herself in the finest white dress.'
