Brass, bronze, platinum, gold, a
ring with some letters engraved on it –
a gift, given in a ceremony, an award,
a graduation, a marriage, recognition,
accomplishment, love, a “Thank you!”
Lost, found, forgotten, recovered,
several times in a lifetime – twisted,
turned, sacred, handed to a grandkid
at the time of death – received with
awe and “oooh” – a new, “Thank you!”
