I wear a small arrowed silver band
on the lower portion of my left middle
finger
the story behind its coming into my
possession
is really no great romantic tale
or whopping humdinger
its just a silly silver ring
yet to me it means something
but really its nothing
I'm really quite sentimental
I keep peace in a way that's
considered to be
most gentle
it was given to me by a once good friend
it was a token of great friendship
not just a temporary lend
so, even though she and I no longer keep in
touch
I continue to wear this quaint little ring
for you see I love it so very much.........
