The Silver Locket
By Abigail M
Shining beauty at first glance,
store of hidden darkness lies inside.
A silver heart sparkling in sunlight,
a dented circle disguised in darkness.
A girl’s lucky charm,
a book’s unfortunate prisoner.
A friend for life,
an enemy for infinity.
A journal protecting many sweet secrets,
a box holding several sour lies.
Beautiful dreams dancing through skies,
dangerous nightmares covering bright stars.
Smiling and prancing through summer sun,
weeping and trudging through winter snow.
A chain of everlasting companionship flows,
a wreath of eternal responsibility circles.
An unbreakable bond blooms here.
A gift on a cold Christmas morning,
a locket in an unopened book.
The present that made all the difference.
