Transfer Blues

Boxes, boxes, boxes
Scattered around the room
As I gathered the bits and pieces
To transfer to a new home.

I am in a state of indecision
On what to throw or keep
For everything I own
Are precious memories so deep.

My late mother's things
Tug at my heart strings
Remind me so much of her
And the days we were together.

Pictures of family and friends
Fill so many albums and frames
Should I leave them all behind
Oh, these keep me in a bind!
