It’s polished and pristine
So fresh and so clean
I like the way it shines
It’s keeping things in sync
Or so I’d like to think
This lucky charm of mine

Nineteen seventy-one
The year we were born
Grungy when acquired
With time I came to know
How to make us glow
Now, it keeps me inspired

It’s seen the walls I’ve scaled
Battles I’ve prevailed
Seen me face many threats
So admired by eyes
Saves me from demise
Garnishing my neck

Covered or exposed
Wherever I go
Never collecting dust
Silver in color
Worth just a dollar
To me thirty grand plus

A memento...which may become a family heirloom. Those are the things that kind bind a family...a symbol of family.

Nicely written.

I see you're writing in a disciplined poetic style. Not I, I usually write in 2 line rhymes. :lol:

:thanks:for sharing a part of you with us.
