Great Grandmother's Ring

A symbol of eternal love
to mark an everlasting bond,
A promise shattered
by our time on this fleeting world.

This simple band carries the love of a lifetime,
Dreams and desires woven into its gold.
The soft serenade of its whispery sigh
Lulls the harsh veracity of life to sleep.

The weight of a feather
Holds the depth of the deepest ocean.
So timeless and forever, yet so brittle and frail.

A million memories fade into times grasp
Leaving an empty ring of ruby gold.
A constant reminder of an intricate story,
Of two souls merged into one.

And though both souls are now long gone,
The ring will forever remain.
Collecting moments and connecting generations,
As it travels through the stream of time.
