The Locket
This seat, this view, the hot rising sun
Memories began, flooding her heart.
As she gazed out at the tranquil beach
She recalled their hopes, their dreams, their
first time in these seats.
They had walked this beach, laughing so silly
His smile, her giggle, making love in the
sand.
He sketched their initials with a bright
yellow straw
Covered her eyes, and asked for her hand.
He clasped a locket around her neck
Like a glimpse of heaven, a beautiful poem
My strength, my soul, the place I call home.
As he approached the table, she giggles, he
smiles, he clasps her hand, the locket, close.
We chose one another with hope in our heart
Like a glimpse of heaven, a beautiful poem
This locket is a token
Of our love from the start.
