This was written in honor of my maternal grandmothers wedding band…
It is odd, I know
But although we’ve never met
I love her and cherish her
Holding her dear and close to my heart
At times I gaze intently at the silver band
Encircling my finger
It holds an irrevocable past
Completely unknown to me and
Yet mysteriously an undeniable reality
Grandpa married this beautiful woman
She was fulfilled by their intense love
Still finding a place in her heart
To give pure, unconditional love to others
This symbol of unity that bound these two
Illuminates my life, as though, I too am connected
To the unbreakable bond
At each glimpse the shine of encouragement
And steadfast love radiates from the
Continuous circle surrounding my finger
Her life ended before mine began
But I care for her and remember
Her just the same
The glimmer of love is forever
Present in this ETERNAL ELIPSE
Thank you, my dear, for finding this poem after so many years. It’s as beautiful a tribute to your grandma now as it was when you first wrote it. I’m happy for the replacement copy. Love you always and forever.
