But that's not what was important.
Within it still remained
scraps of material left from my grandmother's creations.
The five and dime blue checkered cloth
no doubt on sale 30 years ago
became matching shirts for me and my son.
The paisley cotton swath
a baby's pajamas.
That yellow flowered print were curtains
for the first apartment my infant son called home..
Other treasures too.
Magnet backed ear rings.
See the pink ones?
She wore those and shoes on Sundays.
