ORNAMENTS

Its been a long time since I sat down to write

Many days it took me to come to terms and decide,
What to type, what to say about what weve seen,
As I talk in retrospect of what is and what has been
Time flew and things between us changed,
Trials and tribulations panned out, talks and chats
arranged,
Just to clear things out, trying to be the same,
Logic and statements abound, both sensible and lame
As things stand now, its in our hands,
Try to sort things more, or take a stand,
But I want you to try and understand
Things can be like before, but they wont be as grand
So lift your chin up and try and take some time,
Even grapes take decades to make the finest wine,
And in the context of our lives these 5 months would
seem all fine,
When you look at them 5-10 years down the line
Then youll think all things that wed ever said,
Even with you sharp brain and memory youll rub your
head,
Trying to remember all these stupid things and how we
were fools,
As well lie in each others arms and whisper I love
yous.
And ornaments would remain our only maps to the
past,
They started it all for us, and theyll be there till the
last,
I never wanted to side line them ever, but only felt one
thing just,
That we make them special, they dont make us.
