James Alexander

Precious

Things that seem precious

that one\'s heart calls mine

have a way of losing

value over time.

 

Once dear and cherished

now fondly placed away

not quite forgotten

reserved for another day.

 

Sometimes remembered

for a period of time

recovered again then

back out of mind.

 

How much time will pass 

how long will it be

before your fondness

forgets about me?
