Taken By Surprise

Morning it was

A beautiful one

Sipping on my tea

With work all done,

I came into my old storeroom

Where things were all stacked, cleaned and broomed.

I opened that big carved wooden box

Which mom had always talked about

I opened it thinking what would it have

Some old broken pieces, some which would have worn out.

But to my surprise, I came across

A piece of pink paper addressed to me

It was from someone who was dear to me.

It brought a smile and some tears

 of joy

When with it was a little toy.

A few lines for me from grandpa dear

Who left a little special gift for me

There it was, a small little clock

The same as grandpa's 

Which went on tick-tock.

Love and blessings were all it had

Missed him too and felt so sad.

But it did bring in thoughts of 

All good times

Like a bright star from heaven, I saw him shine.

The moments we had spent had

Now become memories in a click,

Some we still remember, gather and pick.
