I loved her, So for her birthday I made a necklace.
She was quiet and shy, So I made it with bronze, A material not shiny, Not glistening, But nevertheless Can be made into Something beautiful.
It does not seek attention. It exists to be practical. It does not promise the impossible. No wealth does it testify. It doesn't put itself out to be recognized, But it is made into something beautiful.
A chain to line her neck And charms full of meaning Despite their insignificant appearance.
A bronze butterfly, Hidden beauty within, The ability to fly free.
A heart-shaped lock For keeping love secure.
A key for holding close Until the time is right To open.
And two turtles, For the virtue of patience, Taking things slow and easy.
I don't know How she'll take it, I only ask That she'll make it Her treasure.
