Upon you we place our finest
to display before all the world
The focal point above our
commonly gilded fireplace
Family heirlooms and our
finest crystal or bric-a-brac
We proudly give credence
to our sense of taste & style
Trophies and awards
we sit upon you to stroke our egos
and brag of our accomplishments
Fine sculpture and wedding photos
to remind us of out joyous past
Sterling candle sticks and passionate
notes of love to spark romance
You hold out hopes and dreams
with strength and dignity
We lean on you to hold us steady
while you remain unencumbered.
