The Necklace

The black rope necklace
Top hat charm that’s worn a lot
It’s wearied down from so much wear
Silver with stars, just a little rusted
Holds lots of meaning
Memories of the whole season and more
Marching band means a lot
My favorite seniors leaving a mark in my life
Band camp the best and worst week
Hard work where I was sore the next day
Friendship
Second family
Favorite necklace
