They say that little things <br />are sometimes worth more than gold, <br />treasured mementoes we cling to from the past. <br />A small gift given <br />from an absent friend. <br />A family heirloom, <br />not worth much to anyone, <br />but to us a fortune there. <br />It could be anything <br />from a photograph to a lock of hair. <br />To us they mean more than money. <br />Those little things in our care.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-things-6/
