Gem of a Gem
GEM OF A GEM
Gem amongst gems,a cat's eye
Never left my dads right hand
Imbued with a muted elegance
Unostentatiously regal and grand
In my fantasy, I saw it as
Eye of a pussy blinking and round
Stuff of a child's dreams it was
A subtle jewel with a story profound
The stone added to Dad's glory and fortune
As the family astrologer had foreseen
Proved a lucky charm for the writer
A pale yellow that hinted of green.
Though Dad's no more,a fragment of him lives with me,
around my finger ,closely entwined, for eternity.
