This Little Gift

A small gift is placed in my hand I want to open it but I am banned I place the fragile thing on my lap I twist it, I turn it, I feel the gift wrap The bow is of a bright blue And is twisted quite askew It weighs so little and means so much They tell me I could loose it with the slightest touch I ask if I can open it now They say if you can handle it somehow I tear apart the paper and open the case And words cannot express the look on my face Within there lies only a note I brought it toward me with both hands And to my eyes to where they land On the note it clearly states A new friend is a gift And at times will give you a lift Be carefull not to hold to tight Or let them too far out of your sight Just be a good friend and let good times be great And leave the rest up to fate When they asked me if I liked my present, I told them it's the best gift of all they couldn't do better Next year just get me a boyfriend attached to the letter
