The Necklace

Where the sea forever dances
Over lonely cliffs and mountains
Where sweet twilight glances
Underneath a warm glowing moon
She would sit there on her old rattled chair
Telling me stories until I would fall asleep
as the night descends
Stars shine brighter
She said, “I want to give you something
Put it in your pocket
It will protect you from all harm
Chase away all your blues
Hold you so ever tight
Let it be your forever guide
It will be your lover and fighter."
So special to me
I clench it in my fist as I say
"Oh grandma I miss you so much
Why didn't you stay?"
