Loved this one by Xanku, I keep a lot of old things for sentimental value myself.
You could reconstruct my life
From the things I’ve retained
A toy and some books
Some jewelry some art
A childhood game.
Some things I have kept
And some have kept me
A ring from my mother
A gift from my ex
An unknown key
That I can’t throw away
Because I just may
Find the lock that it fitted
Full of treasure or memory
One of these days.
I see them through eyes
Through the years, as I changed
From child to student
To woman to crone
Am I who I am,
Or just what I’ve owned?
From the dverse prompt of 8/20/19
