Keepsake Hints

How do I interpret the first line of the poem?

  • 1 of 7: "Once the gift of life has been taken for granted."  Don't focus on the second half of the poem -- focus on the first part.
  • 2 of 7: Specifically the "gift of life" portion.
  • 3 of 7: "Gift of life" refers to a new life, or a baby
  • 4 of 7: Since there isn't a constellation with a baby in it, you'll have to look for the next best thing.
  • 5 of 7: Think of where a baby comes from.
  • 6 of 7: A baby grows in the tummy area of a female.  There just happens to be a female represented in the constellations.
  • 7 of 7: The poem refers to the constellation is of the mermaid.  Notice the star near the mermaid's tummy area (third star from the top).
