Plain And Simple
That little box so plain and simple

Its smell of cedar is oh so fine

It will stay embedded within my mind

Throughout all the rest of time

Grandmas hankies are inside

I know they came from far and wide

They were given to me by my Dad

Soon after she had died

I miss her to this very day

She cared for me in her special way

She went on to her final rest

I love her so, she was the best

I wish she knew me now

I know she sees from up above

That little box so plain and simple

It fits my heart just like a glove

Sometimes I sit upon my bed

And hold those hankies to my nose

Oh, that sweet smell of cedar

So much better than any rose
