Things we keep
Washed up pebbles from the sea
Old clothes that never fit
Underwear long past its best
A pile of magazines
Toilet rolls for planting seeds
Shoe-boxes filled with wool
Lottery tickets, out of date
A purse of two-pound coins
Tickets from a musical
Shelves piled high with books
The box that held the kettle
A broken mobile phone
Keep your temper
Hold your tongue
Keep remembering
Forever young.

Hi Carrie - thank you for stopping by to read my blog and thank you for your comment - much appreciated.
And let's not forget the regrets we keep long after everything else.
