It was so elegantly designed,
With so much lovingly thought,
And the timing was perfect,
When it was bought.
It spoke volumes
With its color so clear,
And was a constant reminder
Of the love that felt so near.
It reminded me always,
Of all of the years and all the tears,
Things that had been shared.
Moments that had been highs
and
moments that been lows,
And all the sacrifices
and the loving care.
Seeing it let me know,
The seed that I sow,
Would continue to grow.
Silly I suppose,
Looking back at that time,
I had assumed it would last forever,
That bond that feels it should be mine.
But nothing in life
Is a
given
Nothing should be taken for granted,
Not even
the shine of stone,
Not even love that has grown.
One day you could awaken
Deep out of a slumber,
And find your days are numbered.
Looking down at your ring,
Your heart loses a string.
Gone is the stone,
A piece of your heart is cracked
never to be replaced
just
like the ring.
