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
