Six Sentence Story word prompt – Keepsake
There was a poet living in poverty. His only possession was his words.
He was secretly in love with the shoemaker's daughter. So, everyday he wrote a love poem and whispered to her as a keepsake.
She was born tender eyed and was not married even way passed childbearing age. But all the days of her life, she was happy especially when she saw how beauty she was in the mirror.
Flicker of Thoughts 
I am glad that both the impoverished poet and the elderly shoemaker’s daughter found happiness through each other.

‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ His poems and love made her feel beautiful. Although he was too poor to marry a shoemaker’s daughter, but he was content.

I too was grabbed by the sentence, ‘His only possession was his words.’ In clever hands, words can be so powerful, for good and ill. Happy for the shoemaker’s daughter they were for the good. 🙂
