FANCY  JARS

I love fancy jars,

the ones you can’t see

what’s inside them.

Sometimes

one opens it up

and surprise.

Sometimes

there is candy

or old letters.

Sometimes

there a lock of hair

or a wedding veil

And don’t be

shocked, sometimes

it’s grandpa who didn’t

want to be buried anywhere.
