A tiny pink figurine

Dressed with lace wings

A skirt around her thin waist

And pink shoes like a bean

A teddy bear with overalls

Two twin buttons blue

Two eyes and a grin

Saying hello to you

And old plate of copper with a date

So rusted you can’t see the shiny face

A regal man and a house

Smaller than a mouse

A thin silver wire

A gem that never tires

Reflecting despite the dark

A flying bold meadowlark

A handwritten note, marked for a friend

A stamp on the side, a message never sent

Yellow parchment paper and a red seal

Loopy handwriting with much appeal

A story unfolds before your eyes

Of a time before when lovers cried

Sent off into the vast unknown

Leaving one stuck, alone at home

The story starts out long ago

A little girl all alone

A girl you recognize

Through black and white size

No guidance throughout childhood

Only a stuffed bear

A tiny little fairy

And dreams not shared

She grew up solo

Going into life unsure

That’s when she met someone

Who made her feel like her

Two met, and all bloomed

A necklace given, the blue softly jeweled

Worn everyday

From the moment he was sent away

Held on tight to the small treasures

They would make it to the end together

Finally all are sent back to town

Two reunited, each other they found

A letter that was never needed to be sent

Sat in the closet, never ending suspense

A ring sealed the deal, and all is history

A man, a woman, a war, no mystery
