a gift for me


A BIRTHDAY GIFT

she lived a life of solitude
she lived a life in rain
she lived a life in which there was
a strong ongoing pain

she had no friends on which to lean
and cry her problems to
she had no friends to give her
love and hope and kindness, too

she thought about it day and night
she lay upon her bed
her mind made up she grabbed a gun
and put it to her head

just then a ring come from the phone
she pulled the gun away
her mom was on the other end
and wanted just to say

"happy birthday, my dear girl
today is just for you
i came for you with all my heart
i hope you knoww that's true"

these words ran through her mind so much
the gun was down for good
she changed her mind about her life
and then she changed her mood

she thought about this special day
and what her mom had said
the gift her mom gave her today
was the gift of life again....
