Listen to poem:

A Ring of Gold

A ring of gold on a silver chain. 
Hangs around my neck .
My soul entwrined here in
A tangent memory of she 
As close to my heart as she can get 
If gold did rust my tears would have washed it away 
but she will always be with me 
Memorys fade but never leave
And nether will my love for she
That ring of gold I hold so dear 
Is the one my father gave her on her wedding day.
