… for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Keepsake and the limit, 49 words.
‘Open your hand’ she whispered
I did as she asked
‘Have this’
.
She placed her palm upon mine
‘You’ve given me nothing’ I said
‘Oh, but I have’
.
Then she was gone
I know not where
Nor why.
.
I treasure that keepsake
A piece of her heart
within mine
Oh, that’s beautiful!
