Moving Day-Angela's Toys


It was moving day and I went to pack the last of my daughter's belongings......

It was moving day and I went to pack,
the last of my daughter's belongings.
Stored in the attic underneath the light,
lay the world of make believe and imaginary things.
This box it held her stuffed animals,
they were every size, shape, colors of the rainbow.
Here were the containers filled with books,
and the puzzles she loved so.
Stored further back against the wall,
were her dolls those babies had given pleasure.
There underneath the old stereo,
she'd found a place to bury her treasure.
I wandered endlessly from one box,
then on to another.
I felt the pain of motherhood,
the feeling which does smother.
Here were all those happy moments,
we had spent together.
Days we spent in sunlight,
and in the stormy weather.
Now my precious daughter,
had children of her own,
and I smile to myself,
at how quickly time has flown.
The day grew long and still,
I let my reminiscing carry me,
back to her childhood days,
falling deep into the land of fantasy.
There were still numerous things to pack,
calls to make, a million things left undone,
yet I sat there playing with her toys,
in the dusty attic in a tiny patch of sun.
