Old Rings

Band of gold, perfect gold round
Sitting in the wooden box
In for a penny, in for a pound
With little trinket filled with rocks

First has found it's way to child
To give to his first wife
Second gathers dust bunnies wild
Pawnshop promises of Alaskan life

Funny how gold shines through dust
With unmistakable glow
No tarnish, oxidation or rust
Reflection of love to grow

I'll buy another one someday
To put on left third finger
Once I have finally found a way
To be sure I've hit a dinger

Game winning run is in the bleachers
Fair wind takes it over wall
I'll say goodbye to all the reachers
For my last love will take my all
