The story of a rifle, as it teaches nervous boy how to shoot
How it give him confidence as a young teen
How it sits lonely as he goes off to his future in college
How she warmly hugs him; being the now young man's welcome home gift from father to son
As she comforts him after another failure
How she realizes one night, while waiting with worry, that she has more than paternal feelings for him
How she happily swoons in his arms, as they rediscover something about each other despite having hundreds of hours on the range together
How the one time he had to defend himself with her, and how he never quite got over it
How she was there for him
How she would always be waiting at home for him, staring longingly out the window
How he grew older, but still gave her the warmest smile every morning she woke up next to him
How she always held lingering regrets; wondering if she was the reason he never had a steady relationship; never maried; never had kids
How she cried as she held his now wrinkled hands
How he still had that same, warm smile
How, after hearing her cry our her worries, her regrets, he just continued to smile
How he whispered to her that she was the most beautiful thing in his life, and that he never regretted a single thing about her since that first day he gripped that walnut stock
How all she can do as he's dying, is cry and smile back.
