Tattered Memory - Poetry

Making the big push to finish my poetry book this year.    Here is another completed poem.   35 complete with 15 in the queue to finish and then, magic, a book!!!
Tattered Memory

I am a placeholder...
a bookmark
in the transition of
another's life.
When I am replaced
the page I am on
will be turned.

New stories will
be written
And I will slowly fade
into the past,
like so many other tales
that are read
and forgotten.

Someday,
the book will be opened,
and the faded,
dog-eared page
will invoke a smile
of the memories
written there
and I will be remembered
once again,
a devoted,
true friend.
