The Ruby Ring Poem by Arti Chopra

Your ring
Glitters bravely
On my hand
A symbol of forty years
of togetherness
I turn my hand every which way
Trying to catch the fiery light
of the rubies within
Ruby for the fortieth year
But that light is dimmed,
Before the radiance
Of our four decades together,
No jewel can compare
with the preciousness
of our time together,
My heart is as light as a feather,
And I smile
Basking in the warmth of your love
