Old words :white what watering chest

There is a chest in my favourite room,
That contains all our family heirlooms.

Fine German porcelain and baptism dresses,
Old golden wedding bands and what-not necklaces.

It is white with golden renaissance leaves,
Adorning each corner along it’s eaves.

The golden latch with the golden key,
Sparkle in the sun so very lovely.

While watering my flowers at my window sill,
I often stare at the chest, and sometimes I spill.

For just the sight brings me down memory lane,
It never gets old, I delight in it again and again.

New words

Hands, pull, save, lasting
