Petite and heart-shaped
Made of a reflective, glossy silver
White and grey
Like a cold winter's day

Its intricate swirls cover the centre
Hiding the secrets and memories
Kept safely inside

It hangs close to my heart
And shines like the stars in the dark of night
A present from someone
To treasure forever

Distant memories
soon feel close
When I open my locket
And remember you, Grandma
