Listen to poem:
This silver trinket means so much to me
An old broken locket from yesterday
Caught in a memory of mystery
The womanly image on my mind does play.
Her countenance is definitely pensive
Graceful shoulders and hands arranged just so
Beautiful brooch on blouse looks expensive
Intuitive feeling what do I know?
Father passed away, among his papers
Photograph of woman from my locket
Love letter asking him a great favour
Her brooch he kept safe in velvet pocket.
Mystery now solved the story revealed
But, why oh why was my mother concealed?
