Before its gone

Before its lost

SCRATCHED YOUR BACK AND RUBBED YOUR TOES,
ALL THE THINGS I TRIED TO SHOW.
CALLED YOU HONEY EVERYDAY,
CAR AND BILLS FOR YOU I PAID.
PLANTED FLOWERS, PAINTED ROOMS,
BUT STILL YOUR LOVE JUST WOULDNT BLOOM.
YOU MOVED IN EVERYONE YOU KNEW,
OF COURSE I HAD TO BUY THE FOOD.
BUT WHEN I ASKED YOU FOR SOME TIME,
YOU ACTED LIKE IT WAS A CRIME.
OK FOR ME TO DO IT ALL,
BUT GOD FORBID IF I WOULD CALL.
IF YOU TAKE AND NEVER GIVE,
AND THATS THE WAY YOU WANT TO LIVE,
EVENTUALLY YOUR ON YOUR OWN,
WITH NO ONE THERE TO PAY YOUR PHONE,
GET YOU CLOTHES AND DIAMOND RINGS,
BUY YOU FLOWERS OR ANYTHING.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN,
LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU EARN.
AND WHEN ITS GIVEN AT NO COST
HANG ON TO IT BEFORE ITS LOST

so true it takes two people in a relationship to make it work and both have to give and work at it to make it work. people who take and never give will end up lonely and sad

every question

poem by Kenneth Studer

EVERY QUESTION * At times it seems impossible, That God could know your pain, But He can feel it just as sure, As clouds produce the rain. * It may appear you're all alone, You feel your life is dead, But God loves you enough... Read more
