Earrings To Match

Compliments pour in about the ring

I wear on my right hand. It isn’t bling

It is lovely and I wear it almost every day

I was given a bag of turquoise jewelry, and hey

I was so pleased that my daughter's friend

would think of me. It pleased me to no end.

~

She insisted that she wouldn’t wear it

I said I promise you that I will, and I hit

the jackpot with all of those jewels.

Are there any kind of rules

to go along with this? I told her I could pay

She said she wouldn’t take anything anyway.

I wore a bracelet, ring, and earrings, a set

into the jewelry store. I asked how much I could get,

and I was told $300. used. More if they were new.

That was such a small amount of what I had. It blew

my mind. I instantly got her a $100. gift card.

That is what I could afford at the time.

I thanked her and told her over and over how prime

her gift was. And to let me know if she ever changed her mind.

The earrings match the ring and other items, too

A beautiful turquoise bracelet was such a coup

And several earrings matched well enough, as did a few

other items. I bought a smaller pair from a friend down the road

I feel like I could give her another gift card for what I own

For all the beautiful jewelry. It is a load

of fun to decide what I will wear just to have shown

it off. I will get compliments, and tell a story of it being on loan.

I understand that turquoise is not for everyone. And some now feel like it is Native American jewelry. Maybe it is, and that is why I was given the jewelry that I was given. She didn’t say that. I know that it is considered to have healing properties. So I don’t refuse it ever!
