SURPRISE PACKAGE......

The door bell rings
Who can it be?
A uniformed man from Fedex
With a package adressed to me.

I tear open the package
Inside I see,
A small Aqua green box
With a white ribbon bow
Signed Tiffany & company.

My heart beats fast
From whom can it be?
A surprise gift from"J"
No! it cant be,
Because "surprise" is not in his vocabulary.

I slowly open the package
And there I see
A sterling silver chain with the initial"L"
In a aqua velvet pouch and a card for me.

It reads....
"Your thought of today, Happy Birthday"
Its from a young friend of mine.
Who looks up to me like a child of mine
And calls to say hello a dozen of times.

I smile and I think even if it is'nt from"J"
Its a beautiful gift and a wonderful thought.
Its something I will treasure and hold close to my heart.
Thank you Natashah.
