Just To Remember By.
Each heart has its hoard of treasures,
Safe hid from the curious eye.
Its tokens of bygone hours,
Just to remember by.
A rose from the old home garden,
A ring that the loved used to wear,
A mother's well worn Bible,
A tress of sunny hair.
A locket, a bunch of violets.
Together the treasures lie,
Dear fragments of long lost days,
Just to remember by.
There are yellow, time stained letters,
All tied with a ribbon blue,
A box of battered playthings,
A baby's tiny shoe.
How oft in the hush of twilight
Each keepsake we view with a sigh.
Then tenderly put them back in place,
Just to remember by!
