The Gift
It was for you
A part of me
An important part
A proud part
I was a little boy
Sharing a treasure
Sharing a secret
Sharing a part of me
Later is forever
In the world of little boys
Later is a lifetime
In the hearts of little boys
Little boys shouldn't give gifts
That were meant for men to give
Little boys get angry
With women they mistake for moms
The only gift you give
Is the one you give yourself
For the rest aren't gifts at all
But yearnings to be loved
And little boys shouldn't give gifts
That were meant for men to give
