A symbol of love
Imprinted into a silver heart
The touch of a smooth fingerprint
The feeling of remembrance
The radiant sun glistens down
On its freshly polished face
And makes it sparkle and shine
It drapes down from your neck
And sways as you walk
It’s the most beautiful sight
It brings tears of joy
It holds the place of special,
Valued things
It’s your heart’s centerpiece
