Codys Gift by Sue Eldredge Lyrics

One day when I was feeling blue
A knock came at my door.
It was so gentle that I questioned
"Did I hear it? Are you sure?

I answered to see a little friend
Was standing there outside.
Smiling from ear to ear
Excited, filled with pride.

He said, "I've come to say hello
And bring you a surprise.
He presented me two rocks
Each one a different size.

"One's for you," he said
As he handed me the prize
And one was for my husband
Who he called "the other guy".

Could you imagine little things
Like rocks could lift you up?
Cody in his innocence
Knows how to fill life's cup.
When do we learn simplicity
Is somehow not enough?
We work hard to build our treasures
And fill your life with stuff.

If you're feeling worn out
Listen carefully to hear
It may be a friend is
Bringing you some cheer.

If not I'll send you Cody
I'm sure he has some more.
Next time you see a rock outside
Perhaps you didn't hear the door.
