Locket

Cassie58

inside your soldier hands 

my silver heart 

of sterling i am valued 

more than gold

undo the tiny clasp 

find you and I

the wealth lies in the 

timeless bond we hold 

 

i am the reason why 

you fight to live 

there’s nothing else of me

that i can give 

our lips meet daily 

in the desperate dark 

come life or death we’ll

ne’er be torn apart

        Deep meaning here it is not what we are made of that dictates value but memories and feelings. So true Cassie said in such a wonderful metaphor.

        • Cassie58

          Thank you for your encouraging and thoughtful review Sorenbarrett. Have a good Sunday.

            Why, yes, you're the reason why I choose to live, of course. Dunno why I didn't think of you earlier! lol.
            Note to self: Do shut up Orchi. lol.
