Lacey Reminders

Lacey Reminders

Doilies delicate, tatted or crocheted,

Protecting the finish of furniture, home-made

And on the chairs and sofa, too

Matching pairs in cream or ecru

Dainty, starched, and placed just so

An art of the past seen no more

Tatting, Lace, Doily: named thereafter

And on the back of the couch: antimacassar

Glad am I for these hand-me-downs

Square, star, rectangular, and round

Beneath the plate or lamp or vase

And a soft reminder of a loved one’s face.
