I look and see it there

gently clinging to my wrist.

The delicate gold bracelet

given to me with such love.

My husband on this special day

is so sappy and sweet.

My baby so tiny and new helps to

celebrate this first Mother's Day.

As time passed the bracelet has seen it all.

From the first step, to the first words uttered,

first bike ride, T-Ball games, school and dates,

the bracelet is always nearby.

Time passed in a blink of an eye.

I've seen him grow and change.

Now tall and blonde with eyes green as

emeralds, always on the run with his buddies, sports, work and school.

A new part of his life is about to commence.

He will soon leave for college

with his whole life before him.

I look at the bracelet clinging to my wrist,

thankful he still has more to learn and love to give.

A man stands before me now,

my tiny baby all grown up.

Still I have my precious memories

and the delicate piece of gold,

which will always cling to my heart!

Which line contains personification?

• My husband on this special day

• As time passed the bracelet has seen it all

• I've seen him grow and change

• A new part of his life is about to commence.
