A silver and gold watch on the livingroom floor I want it Not because of greed But because it's on the floor Because I want to ask my mom where she got it And when And how What it means to her Was it her mother's? A gift? A piece of her past I don't want living on the floor If I can fix it and wear it for her If I can save all our family photos And frame people I don't know I don't know Maybe it won't disappear Though it already has
