The Ring

by Nicole C. Mullen

Got a call from my old friend Said she fell in love again But there's one thing she should know Real true love will only grow Grow like flowers from the rain Mystery I can't explain But there's one thing I can do Is lay out the facts for you True love is faithful Like spring in April It is as dependable as time And it is able to hold on and survive When other loves might say goodbye If you wanna step to me You better know one thing This love I've got you'll never get without a wedding ring If you wanna step to me You better know one thing This love I've got you'll never get without a wedding ring Friend called back said "Can it be I love him, him love me! But he said he'll never wed; rather play the field instead Fields of taller, grassy green Kind you find in magazines" Well I said "If that be so By all means then let him go"
