The brightest Star: A Mythology

29- The locket She Carries

A girl loses her father,

Her beloved father is gone.

He took his own life,

Leaving memories behind.

Memories in that gold locket .

She walks home each day from school,

With tears in her eyes, she's been weeping.

Shedding tears just thinking of him,

And what should have been.

Walking in his old office, where he did his

Afternoon work, she can't help but to cry.

How could he be taken away?

I should have been the one, who passed not him.

Now sitting at his desk, all is silent.

Weeping, she reads Gods word,

From her father's old bible.

She lost everything, everything she's ever known.

It's been five months since his passing,

But she carries him in that gold locket.

Her most beloved gift from him.
