The Card

Where were you before I was born? I would ask it
The pink, purple card
Nonna’s love is locked up in you
I keep it on my shelf where it will be safe

Nonna picked it out of the shop’s shelf and said “perfect for a baby girl”
I have had it all my life
forever lasting
memorable gift
soft tips so I don’t get hurt
maker of smiles
full of memories
tickled pink
cardboard celebration

Keeping me alive,
keeping Nonna alive in me
Makes me smile whenever I see it
Beautiful gift,
Signed with lots of love,
My never replaceable card
