This is no ordinary ring, I must say
Glistening in the sun and shining
dark at night is my grandmother’s ring.
Every time I touch it, it feels like two glasses tinkling.
It brings back so many memories
with all my family overseas
So many generations are still to go.
It feels like glass that has just been cleaned
It smells like wealth
from over a thousand decades ago.
I remember when I got it, the smile
on my face. it was the last memory
of my great grandma. Who knew
this ring would bring me so much happiness and joy?
I can never let it go,
my ring is a piece of silverware,
reflecting off objects.
It is a piece of my great grandma
that I can never let go.
