Keepsakes

My grandfather collected stars.  He would sit for hours studying the constellations through his telescope and only when he found the perfect one would he reach up with his great arms, pluck it from the heavens and place it gently in the hand carved oak box that he made for my grandmother’s keepsakes.  When I miss him I open the box and watch my grandfather’s stars twinkle up at me.
