The Trinket

She found it on the side of the road When she was eight years old A braclet with silver rainbows That was overlaid with gold It wasn't worth much money But priceless, in her eyes Nothing more than a trinket But a treasure she'd always prize She wore it on special occasions Like to weddings or a dance Anywhere she got dressed up Or whenever she got the chance They all went out to dinner And forgot to check the locks The door was open, when they got home And they had taken, her jewlery box The first time, she'd ever went out And it wasn't on her wrist The jewlery box was filled with gold But the bracelet is what she missed The police were called to investigate They said, it would probably never be found She left the room and went outside Without ever making a sound While walking down the darkened road The headlights blinded her stare When out of the corner of one of her eyes She caught a glimpse of a glare "That couldn't be", she thought to herself It was even to impossible to think it But sure enough, beside the road Lay her beautiful, rainbow, trinket
