It’s a simple design,

a silver sausage dog

in a regal pose

hanging from a chain

and nestling against my skin.

A memorial for a precious pet,

friend, child, love

who was part of my everything

for twelve years,

a responsibility and support

that I still ache to have back.

He died eight years ago

and I still wear my trinket

to keep his presence here.

Prompt: Jewelry
