Life – Jillian Reis

I am from a stack of books

worn with time and use

filled with forgotten bookmarks

and memories that were never far from reality

I am from a red ring

constantly round the finger

of a teenager trying to get by

in the world which she came

I am from a wooden box
filled with sketches and stories

some old, some new

all represent times of the past

I am from an old deck of cards

held together with a hair tie

a reminder of a warm grandmother

Who passed away and left only perfect memories behind
