Antiques
A ntiques give tribute to the past, reminding
us
N ow is just a moment, many have come before
and many will come after.
T he oil lamp on my cupboard top tells me to
be thankful for electricity.
I look at the black and white pitcher and am
grateful for running water. Grandma’s
Q uilt consists of patches from clothing my
husband’s family must have worn. The
U rn once carried ashes of a grandparent. The
gravy boat features cracks
E mulating wrinkles of aged ancestors who
once used it at thanksgiving feasts.
S o many trinkets left to teach, inspire, enlighten,
admonish and memorialize.
