A SPECIAL GIFT

In May of 2013, my husband and I got married. My sister-in-law, Jeanne, gave me a special gift for me to wear on my wedding day. This poem is about the special tiny treasure she gave me and the bond she and I have.

A special gift, silver and blue,
lays gently on my wrist.

Worn on my wedding day,
a tiny treasure, precious to me,
given by my sister-to-be,
a bond reflected in its hue.

Through laughter shared and tears unseen,
this piece of love, a gentle gleam.
In every moment, it whispers true,
a promise held, always anew.

Together we’ll travel, hand in hand,
through time and memories we will stand,
with this small gift, my heart’s embrace,
forever treasured, our sacred space.
