Today I am wearing a ring
It’s special
It was my mother’s
She got it while in college
When she visited the southwest
It’s turquoise and silver
With a simple setting
It’s over 50 years old
Today I wanted to feel her presence
So I put it on
As I paused at a street light
Just for a moment
I felt her there with me
Treasured memories
Of beloved people
Give us comfort
