Jan Allison Poet Verse

Heirloom

Harry is heartbroken,
his wonderful mother
has died. He passes her
heart shaped gold locket to
her great granddaughter. She
hugs him and places the
heirloom around her neck.

Tim Smith February 18, 2017 at 11:28 AM I'm sure the daughter will cherish it.. Jan Allison February 18, 2017 at 11:35 AM I've amended it to great grand daughter as I has 'his' twice as the first words and didn’t want to repeat any words. Hugs Jan xx
