Today she recieved ~
A shiny ring ~
From her special man.

Instead of showing off her ring ~
She bowed her head and cried.

Though her tears shed heavy ~
And trickled the long day through~
One never fell in happiness ~
Nor joy.
Nor thankfulness.

She cried because ~
She couldn't show the shiny ring ~
To her mom and dad.
Or her family ~
Or her siblings ~
Nor all the friends she had.

She didnt want the shiny ring at all ~
But couldn't give it back.
And if she could ~
It would only make him mad.

How could a shiny ring of gold ~
Placed around her finger ~
Make her want to cry?

You see, he never set ~
A shiny ring of gold ~
Around her finger.

He gave her a shiny  ~
Purple ring ~
And he put it around her eye.
