She motioned for me to look inside It was full of gold dollars to my surprise She reached in and took out two of them Then grabbed my hand and I knew it was Him
All of a sudden a fear came over me A soft voice in the breeze began to speak "Don't be afraid, you know I Am" Then she put the two dollars in my hand
