these are my treasures kept apart,
cradled in velvet in my heart
graven profiles,
pictures clear,
perfect moments,
priceless
etched in ageless time
to be my cameos
my cameos of memories
the hours i spent with you
the tender times,
the fun times,
the summers spent
and the rain
the laughter and the precious pain
of loving you,
of you loving me
my cameos of memories
these are my wealth
my warmth
my light
i keep the dreams close
all the night
with fingertips of heart and mind
i trace each profile, there defined
these treasures, none can take from me
my cameos of memories
