I was wandering in town one day
and much to my surprise.
I saw an object shining bright,
in front of my green eyes.
I bent down to investigate
and saw a bracelet lying there.
A very unusual design, I thought
Each link, was made up of a square.
On the links were shamrocks
Quite pretty, the design.
There was a name engraved on it
and it turned out to be mine.
The bracelet, was of silver
and I took it home with me.
though I felt a little guilty
as it wasn't mine, you see.
But somehow it was meant to be,
perhaps, fate played her part.
I love that little bracelet,
with its simple ethnic art.

Oh, if this poem is true... do enjoy the bracelet!
YES!! May have been a gift from Heaven, for your birthday or any other special occasion, by the accounting of angels!
I once found a tin of wonderful chocolates and a friend told me it might be a gift from God. 
So I loved eating them. 
Thank you for your darling poem!

Dear one, I believe in heavenly intervention and could it be that the bracelet was a gift from a departed relative?
Your name is just the most wonderful clue...

I expect the angels left it there for you, but I
am sure you feel guilty to this day.
Nicely flowing poem.
