The black album

This book is like a comforter,
A quilt with many parts,
A keeper of our memories,
A place to warm our hearts.

The fabric is life's events
Those things we want to keep,
Those programs, stubs, and
photographs, placed here-
not in a heap!

The scraps all stitched together,
held fast with love and care,
Create a family legacy,
a gift for all to share.
