Christmas two years ago

I'm going to take you back,

two years ago.

I was eighteen and getting ready to wait for a missionary.

Jeff was still around.

He got me a very special Christmas present.

He came to my door, just as he was leaving to go up north with his family.

It came in this little white box, tied with a green ribbon.

This was my Christmas present from Elder Gibson before he left.

Don't think I left it in it's little box,

I wear it almost everywhere.

I love it as it is right now,

nice and clean,

because it reminds me how it was when I first got it

2 years ago.

My pretty aquamarine necklace.
