The Doughnut
We sat at the table my friend and me
Sipping our coffee what did we see
Was only one left we looked eye to eye
Seeing the doughnut right where it lie
What did he say I can’t hear a thing
I'm to busy watching that sugared coated ring
He looks at me then he looks down
Looking at the doughnut perfectly round
What is he thinking what’s in his head
For I haven’t heard a thing he has said
Looking so sweet and covered in white
I sure want to taste it I sure want to bite
Isn’t it always ladies are first
If I cant have it I'm gonna burst
Then all of a sudden before my own eyes
He picks up the doughnut and to my surprise
Holding it gently with both of his hands
As though he knows and understands
He breaks it apart and takes my hand
Lays it down slowly then he began
His voice so sweet he quietly spoke
" for this reason this was broke,
I share this doughnut with you my dear
And ill share my life year after year,
Things may not be sugar coated sweet
But all of your needs I promise to meet
And if you cry know that I'm here
To sooth your pain and dry your tear
My arms will shield you from this day on
From the nightfall till early dawn
I give this half my doughnut to you
As I give my heart and all that I do
I promise to be there from this very moment
For truly I know our love was meant
I give you this doughnut and tell you one thing
I want to replace it with this......wedding ring"
