The Glass Cabinet

Grandma left me her glass corner

display cabinet - I used to spend

hours in front of it when I was

small, memorising all the little

ornaments grandma carefully  

collected through the years

Except for her wedding band,

this is the only other item which

holds immense sentimental value

for me because every piece in that

display cabinet suggested a million

stories about grandma to me

This is why I simply cannot

comprehend why you refuse to

return what is so dear to me -

I cannot understand how a

person can be be so utterly

selfish and materialistic

I keep the memories of that

glass cabinet close to my heart,

grandma’s presence still lingers

on - the memories I have of her

is the one thing that NOBODY,

not even you, can take away
