Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The only theme I can come up with is "loss". The author lost her Grandmother in death and lost the ring which she left to her. I took that she will forever be searching for the lost ring just like she will be "searching" for love and acceptance. I felt the mood was sorrowful. I don't know if this is an accurate interpretation or not. As for the ending, I took it at she will always be waiting for the love and acceptance she longs for, and she feels it will never arrive. Who knows. I am curious to see everyone elses interpretation of the poem.
