Analysis of The Hope Chest
A cedar box of dreams
A promise of love and security
Treasured pieces of life
Framed, pressed flowers
High school yearbooks
Hand embroidered linens
Old family photographs
Mom’s wedding dress
A wedding ring quilt
Gathered together for another
To make her home homier
For her to pass on
