I got the mail and to my surprise
A box addressed to me
I hurried back with it in tow
So anxious just to see
What could it be, I couldn’t guess
What my thoughtful friend could send
I’m running now, back to the house
Will this driveway ever end??
I’m in the house now and wouldn’t you know
There’s a ringing from the phone
Hey, I have a gift I want to see
Could you please leave me alone??
So, I picked it up and said “Hello”
Who could this person be?
Oh what a thrill, I’m happy now
They’re from AARP
Just think of it, at lower cost
Because I’m old is why
This life insurance will set me up
But only if I die
I said, “No thanks”, my plan’s to live
They said, “You never know!”
With the slightest chill upon my voice
I said, “I have to go”.
So, here I sit with box in hand
Excitement begins to grow
From this unexpected thoughtfulness
From a friend I’m blessed to know
So I pull on the box
It’s taped quite well
My heart is pounding now
I lift the lid, I peek inside
“A Lady Bug, Oh WOW”!!!!
I’ll cherish this for all my days
This gift my friend has sent
I’m feeling good and feeling loved
Which I know was your intent.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
