Guard in palms like a loose pearl
Hello everybody.
I can't understand what the writer is trying to say in 'guard in her palms like a loose pearl during her future loneliness'
She already felt aged by the day. No longer fifteen but as if she’d lived a decade more and understood, though she didn’t yet know how, that this would be the morning she would dream of, guard in her palms like a loose pearl during her future loneliness.
Thanks so much for your great help.

She will always remember this particular day in her life, especially this one morning. She will hold it in her memory as if it were a precious stone in her hands. In the future, when she feels empty and lonely, she will recall this time.
