The Necklace

The way it shimmers in the light

And the way it sits perfectly on my neck

Like it's meant to be.


I can't help but question how it got there.

Was it worth the pain?

The tears?

The sleepless nights?

And knowing I never get to see her again?


Somehow, this necklace makes it better

When the sun hits it,

It shimmers. 


I know she's there

Looking over me

Smiling

And thinking to herself how proud she is of me.


I can’t bring her back,

But this necklace will forever connect her to me.

This poem was inspired by the loss of my mother and the necklace of hers that I now wear everyday
