Poem

In May two thousand and seven I was on a beach on the sand 
When it was time to leave I noticed, I was missing my gold band
I started digging the sand frantically, my wife she helped too
We were flying home the next day, there was little we could do. 

Before we left the beach I took a picture, of where we had lay
I hoped that sometime in the future we'd return here one day
My wife about five months later found a cheap holiday online
It was for a holiday to kefalonia and to me it was a clear sign.

I packed my metal detector and brought the photo with me
Would I find the treasure in the sand or find it in the sea? 
After about half an hour of searching I heard a loud beep 
I'd brought a small shovel with me and started digging deep.

But eureka I'd found it, and was good as new after a clean
It had slightly discoloured and had turned a little bit green
My wife had been trying to sleep, when she heard me shout
Some people looked our way, so I explained what it was about. 

That night we went out to a restaurant and we celebrated 
I was still smiling and over the moon and was feeling elated 
I'd already claimed for the loss because that's what you do
And I don't have one wedding ring, because now I have two.
