I took the bracelet off today
it's been five years since it's been unclasped
I wore it in the bath, I wore it to bed
I thought I would wear it until I was dead

But bling is bling
at least it didn't turn my wrist green
but I'll miss waking up at night
with it tangled in my hair

I cut my hair
for the first time in years
I had to
I did not know how to take care of it myself.

tugs at the heartstrings... very nice LRod.

I once threw my wedding ring out the window driving on the beltway going 85 miles an hour.

I'm sorry about the bracelet.

Your poem brought tears to my eyes.

a great deal of emotion compressed into 8 poignant lines....
this takes a whole lotta skill........terrific conservation emphasizes
the beauty.....nice work, elrod..........

I'm a master goldsmith but I regret that I can't fix that...

Aw.....
I love/hate this one.
Excellent LRod....

thank you ladies for seeing this poem and appreciating it for the simple image that it is

and doreen, I didn't take it off in rage or anger, it was deliberately and reluctantly and calmly. I didn't throw it out the window of a speeding car. I don't wear it, but I don't know if I can part with it. It's in a safe place.
