Notes About The Poem

This is one of the poems written as one of my very first songs iin Fredonia, Kansas in 1968, but also one of the about 300 poems I took out to a trash barrel in the alleyway behind my apartment, set the first one afire, and then fed the remaining, one at a time, into the fire, and burned them all. The next day I left Fredonia. There were maybe a dozen that I was not aware my Father had in Springfield MO, that he always loved, and he and his Uncle Percy, actually had a lot to do with my early poetry writing. This was one he saved. It was a song.

Fredonia Ks 1968 Lord I Know

LORD, I KNOW
Lord, I know, you know what I mean
Lord, I know, you know what I need..
I'm not one who spends 
a lot of time on my knees
I'm not one for saying, 
C'mon Lord, Please.

But Lord I know you've heard
every word that I say
every time I pray.
Every time I pray.

Lord, I know, you know what I mean
Lord, I know, you know what I need..
Lord, I know, you know what I mean
Lord, I know, you know what I need..

I'm not one for saying
"This is what I need..."
I'm not one for praying
for things I just don't need.

I just want to thank you,
Thank you Lord, again,
I know you know
what I mean again.

Lord, I know, you know what I mean
Lord, I know, you know what I need..
Lord, I know, you know what I mean
Lord, I know, you know what I need..
