Ma Mere et Mon Pere

If I ever lost you,
and couldn't find where
you had gone,
I would make tiny sculptures of you
and wear them on me,
on my wrist, on my arm.

I would wear you on a little
gold chain with all
the other charms.
I would wear you and
you would chime
and you would clink
and you would jangle.

You would be here with me
in this place,and here
with me in that.
With me, wherever I go,
whenever I go there,
forever.
