Fortune
A very old teapot
Picked up for a few bucks
At the flea market.
Very old, but, no,
Not of the Ming Dynasty
But of the Tsung Sing Fung family
Fallen on hard times
And gone elsewhere for jobs to find,
In the teapot they found a fortune cookie
Which, once cracked, promised love
Long life and happiness
To the honorable owner.

There is something that's beautiful and heartbreaking about this. Promises that never came true? Honor and hope?
You captured this well.
