There is plenty to be said 
About the life and possessions 
Of those who are amongst the dead 
Trinkets and collections, furniture 
Albums, house plants, boxes stacked
Floor to ceiling, family heirlooms discarded 
Memorabilia mazes maxed with unique 
Unconventional art flounced on the wall 
We chose things that we were certain 
We could never have imagined affordable 
Bargaining our way through the entire time 
Until the treasures were abound
Loaded into the back of our car
Twelve hours to make it home 
These folks may have been long gone 
But they will not be forgotten 
Appreciation for the rest of our lives
