Gifts



Did You hear about that man named Bob,
Who finally got a job?

So he could have some money,
And buy something for his honey

He bought the special gift, and held it in his hand
As he Hoped everything, would go as planned

When he was leaving from work, he felt the moment was right
But when he came home, he was in fright

His Honey,
Bought the same gift, with her money

The money she made from her job,
Selling corn on the cob

She bought a special gift too
And said, "It's especially for you"

As the love filled the room, the waterfalls drowned their eyes
Then the two lovers, came to realize

That the special gifts bought,
Filled with endless care and thought

Were bought, to win the others heart
But as their love drowned them, they knew they won them from the start.
