As a little girl you never want to think about the people you love and who love you dont love eachother anymore

As they set me down to tell me the news i never really understood

If love lasts forever why has this love died?

Memories to cherish through good times and bad

We got through it

My mom gave me a necklace with two golden rings

Her and my father use to wear to symbolize the love they use to share

Now gold pretty bands I hold in my hands as memory takes its toll

shiny and new from lovers so true that use to awaken the soul

As I hold these rings they symbolize importance to me

Something Ive held onto forever

A love that died but still lives on inside of me

something i can never let go of

A gift from parents who love me so dear

Memories I will always cherish and hold near

Now we have moved on and life has changed

The past has gotten us to our future

The author's comments:
I wrote this as a keepsake poem about my parent's divorce. They divorced when I was younger and my mom gave me the wedding rings on a golden chain and it meant alot to me as a little girl, even though I didnt fully understand why their love ended. Now that I am older I understand so I wrote this poem for memories sake.
