    Crack and the White Picket Fence
    Sweet frames that held
    Times precious
    Bubbled and placed in new
    Cardboard boxes leaving
    Stark naked walls
    Stripped of all that truly matters.

    Mothers treasures passed
    Down from her own and then to me
    Lie in yesterdays newspaper
    Whose headline should scream
    In huge black print
    Lives Blown Up.

    I really liked this. The passing nostalgic changing of the seasons. Very nice! Thanks!
