Diamonds in Her Drawer
Teresa Magee
c. 2006

Linens in her hope chest
His diamonds on her hand
She was looking at the road ahead
It was all she ever planned

Her life was filled with love and hope
Promises they made to keep
She dreamt about their future
As she drifted off to sleep

But those happy days are long gone
They hit a few bumps on the road
When she was busy dreaming
Oh, little did she know

Her linens now are tattered
Her hopes gone forevermore
Instead of diamonds on her hand
She’s got diamonds in her drawer

She takes them out and holds them
As tears run down her face
The love that they once stood for
Can never be replaced

Her linens now are tattered
Her hopes gone forevermore
Instead of diamonds on her hand
She’s got diamonds in her drawer
