DEDICATION: To Charlie -- Happy Birthday!

I spent many hours looking for just the right one; I scoured the bazaars and shops until I finally found it.

Why did I take so long to present it, carrying it with me like an unspent token of love, waiting for the moment when its weight would be too heavy for me but perfectly fitting for you?

Now I see it on your hand, and I know it belongs there. When my arms can't enclose you, it holds you in its tiny embrace. It entwines your finger with strength and with beauty. And like my love, it will endure.

The End
