Shimmering softly upon a silver plaque,
The heart is golden,
The body embedded with a phosphorescent star,
Fragile hands grasping a precious gift,
Looking down it brings a smile,
An emblem of love,
Bringing two people together in unity.
Once it reaches a certain age things change,
It may be more delicate,
And more precious than anything,
Unconditional love is felt,
Every time you need it.
Through sorrow and pain,
In rain or shine,
It surely brings a smile,
As it comforts,
Bringing solitary to the beholder,
And once you are attached it loves you back.
Diamonds do all of these things,
But what I see here is
Love between a mother and daughter.
