The Necklace of Memories

Oh my necklace how you shine,
I'm so glad you are mine.
You remind me of her,
Because my memories of her are becoming more and more of a blur,
It seems like yesterday the doctors told me what had happened,
That cruel mistress Dementia, I hope the memories of me haven't blackened,
She was gone, and I didn't even get to say goodbye.
The funeral was the saddest day of my life, and I did nothing but cry.
And it was hard to see her ashes go,
It's so hard to know
That I'll never see her again.
I tried to be there but she was gone by then.
The funeral was just so sad,
And her son is my grandad,
So I supported him through it,
The necklace remains but it's just a bit,
I wrote this poem about this necklace, why?
So I don't forget and always remember to say goodbye.
