They Say it's the Thought That Counts

We sit and we laugh

As we open presents together

Cozy under the tree,

A fire burning a few feet away

 

It's our first Christmas where

We are really, truly together

As stated by the ring on my finger

And it is oh so special

 

There's one present left for me

I pull of the ribbon, open

The long slender box and  find

A ticket to a highschool football game

 

I look at the highschool's name

It's where we both went

I look at the game's date...

It's the day we first met

 

I look up at  you, tears in my eye.

You smile knowingly, and say

"They say it's the thought that counts

And I thought this would make a great gift."
