Ode To Grandmother’s Engagement Ring
Delicate band of gold,
Crested with a tiny crown of diamond,
Snuggled safely ‘neath sweet-scented hankies,
In the top drawer of my Grandmom’s chest.
Though your jewel is tiny,
It sparkles with a fire that doesn’t fade.
Decades have come and gone since you were given,
And decades more since you were laid to rest.
That day so long ago,
When Grandpop slipped you onto Grandmom’s hand,
Betrothing each to each in awesome love,
Their journey thus begun, they gave their best.
And from their love
Two generations more have now been giv’n
Those seeds of love, watered with their examples,
And generations more will soon be blessed.
Delicate band of gold,
Crested with your tiny crown of diamond,
I’ll hold you dear and treasure you my whole life,
The symbol of a love that passed the test.

OK you’ve twisted my arm with your little message! I loved your poem and think it was a true depiction of how many people feel about objects handed down from their grandmas and Nanas.
Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for taking the time to read and let me know.

Very nice work, I especially like the way the last line summed all the love up 🙂
Thanks a lot. I think the last line is my favorite too.
I have the same love for my mothers violin.. beautiful…
Thank you, Gerry.
This is very touching dear Sandra. I can imagine the ring reaching way into the future.
Thanks for those encouraging words, Gilly.
