The Necklace

As I watch it shine in the morning sun
It takes me all the way back
Given to me before she died
She said to me, take this, it is now yours

I run it through my fingers
And feel the big, round bumps
Travelled here from across the world
Handed down from generations

I come from Italy
Italy is my home
First owned by my great, great, great, great, grandmother
It is now mine
I will cherish it forever

Nonna and me
Me and nonna
Together forever
