Adam Gregory - The Ring

She stares at that ring on her finger


with a far away look in her eyes


She thinks of the memories that linger


of the good days that quickly flew by





And she remembers the day


When a young man would say


that he'd found the love of his life


She gave him her hand and he placed on a band


and asked her if she'd be his wife





And some may value its silver


And some may value its gold


But she knows no greater value


than the memories it holds





She added a stone when the children were born


and her husband now looks down from above


She's lived a good life as a mother and wife


and the ring is a symbol of love





And her friends know when to leave her alone


they can tell she needs time to cry


She stares at that ring on her finger


with a far away look in her eyes
