Analysis of Decorations of the Heart
Like a trophy room
Adorned with treasured keepsakes
Memories on the wall of your heart
Places and faces of friends we make
As children laugh and play
Friendships begin to grow
Fifty years later
Down Memory Lane they go
Special events in your life
Moments never to forget
All there for endless review
Rock solid, a smile is set
Babies being born
Elders say their last good-byes
All part of life
Even the tears we cry
But these decorations
Are yours to keep
They’ll fill your heart
As treasures so deep
So cast your gaze upon
Works of beautiful art
Let a smile come from each gift
Decorations of the heart
