Analysis of The Hope Chest
The quilts that Grandma held so dear
Still fragrant with the scent of her
I keep in that place always near
An old photo album with relatives
Most that I have never met
The ballet slippers covered in pink chiffon
That I have coward to try on
A cameo that captures a life lived so well
That came with stories told me, that now I
can tell
But the one item I will cherish the most
Is the Wedding dress she wore that day when
she was the toast
This is my Hope Chest from Grandma to me
Made of a beautiful cherry wood tree
And one day it will be passed from me to
My Granddaughter
As only it should be
