i don't have a lot
of things
i had always wanted
a birthstone ring
and one was gifted
once upon a time
it was my most
prized possession
but when my eldest
daughter
started high school
i noticed
she needed something
i gave the ring to her
the gifter did not understand
how i could give away
the gift
if i loved him
and today my youngest
going through
some old jewelry boxes
noticed how
i give things away
and looking around the room
i realized all the tiny little things
my grandmother gave me
growing up
my most treasured things
made me feel loved
*i don't have much
but if i love you
it is yours*
