Heart Locket of Gold

Her grandfather gave her a heart locket. When opened it revealed a little pocket that held a picture of him and her and she had vowed to wear it forever. Held true to her word for sixty-five year, as she took it off, her eyes filled with tears. The heart locket of gold she had placed on her only granddaughter, whom she embraced. Inside she found in a pocket of its own a picture of her, grand mother and copone. A scruffy little dog with his own style, remembering those memories made her smile. I know this gift is a bit unorthodox, said its an heirloom as she handed him the box. Explaining how it has been handed down and inside a picture of them at playtown. He pulled a box from his shirt pocket, to his eldest granddaughter a gold heart locket. He opened the locket, placing in front a picture of him, her and her pug Runt. A heirloom, this heart locket of gold. Has four little pockets inside that hold four little pictures of eight generations. One, love of family, commemorations.
