Silver Locket

Laying close to my heart
A million memories are waiting
It's like a piece of art
The shiny silver plating

A photo waits inside
Until the worn latch unlocks
And has extra emotions to provide
More valuable than any gems or rocks

Passed through generations
A rich history for some
Given to the next of kin on special occasions
Soon my turn will come

An item as powerful as the sun
With each wearer a new memory is made
It is what my has done
The traditional that will never fade
