Buried deep inside the treasure chest
Hidden in a tiny box
Amongst old clothes and knick-knacks
And the ticking of the clocks
Double-sided swivel brooch
A keepsake for one so fair
Encasing a portrait of her lover
With a woven lock of his hair
Reminiscing of times long ago
Which seem like yesterday
She gently releases it from captivity
In celebration of Valentine's Day
