Gold Doesn't Tarnish

Gold Doesn’t Tarnish

Gold doesn’t tarnish
and the pinky poesy ring
which grandfather found
while plowing his field 
is as bright as the day
it was  first slipped it 
on her finger.

But the promise 
of love inscribed within 
still shines though their
fingers are long gone.

(Inspired by an episode of 
the British Antiques Road Show.)
