Trinkets Of Time

Trinkets Of Time

By Paul McCann

Every little gift is like a treasure in my mind

and I’ve collected so many little trinkets of time ,

some people might think they are just worthless bits of jewellery

but to me each one of them holds a special memory..

Trinkets of time see how they shine .

Trinkets of time I have placed in a box there on the shelf

 each one has a secret wealth ,

that I’ve  kept there to myself.

 I know them all well and they ’ve all got their own story to tell

 the silver has  tarnished and the gold is too old to sell  ..

Trinkets of time see how they shine .

Sparkling things like black onyx rings  

and crosses and chains ,

rosaries and bracelets and bits and pieces

with engraved names.

For some they have no value

 but I’m rich knowing they’re mine

Life’s little treasures in a box they’re my trinkets of time .

Trinkets of time see how they shine .

Trinkets of time they sparkle and shine

every day for me.

They’re something special

that I don’t need the whole world to see.

On the road through life

 I need to stop and to have a look

at my trinkets of time and remember how long it took..

.

Trinkets of time see how they shine .
