Sterling Silver Touchstone on Cord - The Adoption Poem

Not flesh of my flesh
Not bone of my bone
But still miraculously
My own.

Never forget
For a single minute
You didn't grow under my heart
But in it.

Published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1952, the Adoption Creed is a beautifully phrased exploration of a unique emotional bond. The saying has been engraved on two sides of an irregular tactile disc form which can be worn as a necklace or kept as a touchstone for pocket, purse or keychain.
