I watch as it catches the light

I watch as it catches the light,

Shimmering and glistening,

The chain swishes around,

As the wind gently blows it,

Handed down to me from my grandma,

As she placed it in my hand,

I remember her crying, overwhelmed,

I felt a rush of cold,

As she closed my fist tightly around it

As I watch it,

I remember my grandma,

In China, her arms wide open,

Welcoming me into her home
