Gnomes Out of reach to the left

Sparkly Heart Rock

My heart-shaped rock sits barely out of reach.

It’s edged in sparkly, silvery chenille.

No bigger than a pit of a small peach,

For many dollars, I’d refuse to sell.

It’s decorated with six plastic beads

And filled with golden glitter in between.

In capturing my heart, the rock succeeds.

The beads are yellow, pink, white, blue and green.

Created by a girl who cannot talk,

But with a smile can warm up any room.

And neither could she rise, get up, and walk.

We cared for her, but she has moved too soon.

                                                                       

To dwell on losses makes me feel so sad.

The rock reminds me of the joys we had.
