I have a place, #3

I have a place, a special place
Where only I can go
It holds all my special things
The ones I love so

This place has rooms
With walls that only I can see
Where secrets are kept
Reviled to only me

Some items there are yellowed by time
Some are almost new
Each has a place, a reason
That makes each room complete

See that shiny penny
And the button in the drawer
I know why I keep them there
What they mean to me

I visit here more often now
I linger in each room
Dust off all the cobwebs
Bring each item into view

I have a place, a special place
Where only I can go
It holds all my memories
The ones I love so

For as long as i remember I have wanted an attic. I cherish so many things and would love to store them away in such a place you write about.
I really enjoyed your poem and was wondering if anyone would tackle this picture.
Thanks for the comfort poem.
