This object owns memories
Memories that preserve youth and curiosity
Memories of the unknown
Memories of an interested, perplexed self
This object has buoyed value and defended passion
Nursed, cared and sympathised
This object offers an uncomplicated, accessible escape
A departure to a less intricate, more gleeful period
Allowing burdens to uplift and urgencies to retire
Only to be found in a form of reverie
Anon nostalgia and belonging approach
A thin, shallow layer of plastic borders today and yesterday
This object is a subtle reminder of my fortune
That my past grants a vivid, earnest future
At first glance something quite distinct
A miniature picture of my younger self
Cloaked by a smooth red frame
This object will constantly be available, watching, ready to comfort
This picture speaks more than just words
