Appreciate What You'Ve Got

Baby Girl
you've got a mighty good man
and he seems to think the world
of you 
but I can't seem to understand
why you
put him through
so much pain
Baby Girl
whatever you want you've got it
he'd give you the world
if only
it was his to own
there's no doubt about it
you're all that he thinks of
you're all that he speaks of
all of his precious love
all of his endless love
belongs to only you
only you
and no one else
but you
Baby Girl
stop being so stubborn
he's definitly the one
that'll give you the loving
that special kind of loving
that your whole body's been yearning
for so long
stop doing the man wrong
keep on doing so
one day he's going to be gone
and it'll be all your fault
that he's gone
Appreciate what you've got
because right now
it's all that you've got
you've got a good thing going
so don't you go off and blow it
appreciate what you've got

A joy to read an oldie by one of my favorite poets Wanda. Love, Carol
