#14

You save the things you love for special times,
to keep their shiny faces new and fresh -
afraid to wear away your little finds,
so sure with time and life they'll cease to mesh.

You wait - emergencies arise, you grasp
your honey tea, favorite CDs, your cat
to your sad chest with desperate clammy clasp
and pray these tools have not just met their match.

Invest power in little things, and small
will be returned - but let the world be big
and you shall reap the good, avoid the fall
of empty symbols, losses, subtle digs.

So live your life, enjoy the best always,
and happiness will dog your every day.
