The Diamond Heart Necklace

Diamonds, rubies, and amethysts danced last night in my dreams, Beautiful, sparkling gifts from my husband that were supreme. For 30 years each custom piece was planned by him with care, And when he surprised me with it I thought I was walking on air. I remember each piece he gave to me and the occasion. Our anniversary, birthday, and Christmas was a big celebration. They were wonderful years, but the marriage did not last. We lost that perfect love that had been unsurpassed. The split was acrimonious, and it became the divorce from hell. Everything had to be divided, and my jewelry I was forced to sell. The day I brought all my jewelry to be sold I did not shed a tear For all the pieces given to me with love I held so dear. When I left my wedding ring that day, I felt lost and forsaken. But I have thought very little since about my jewelry that was taken. It is over and done, and I have tried to put it behind. But I awakened with tears on my pillow, thinking of a gift so kind. One Christmas Eve he gave me a gorgeous diamond heart necklace. When I saw it I was in awe and breathless. It made me cry in my dream to see the love in his eyes. His excitement and joy was worth far more than the prize.
