The Wedding Ring

THE WEDDING RING


It's been two years since the death of her husband
And it has been hard to get along
Financially she has been struggling
Everything is going wrong

She has had to sell a lot of her keepsakes
To help pay her bills
There's great sorrow in selling things you love
It has taken a great deal of her will

But her greatest test had not yet come
And she was going to have to make a decision
Her financial woes carried on
Her next step required spiritual vision

She was going to sell her wedding and engagement rings
Because she still had to pay some bills
But when she got to the pawn shop
She started to get exstreamly ill

The pawn shop owner said he'd give a lot of cash
But his vision of what the rings meant was sightless
When the young wife came to her decision
She decided the spirit of she and her husband's vows were to priceless

She knew she could struggle along
Until things started turning around
But as far as those rings were concerned
That was touching sacred ground
