Give Me Some Words

Give Me Some Words
        by Amy Swanson 12/2008


Give me some words 
     and I'll give you a rhyme
A few precious thoughts, 
     just a bit of your time

Let's love one another 
    and sing a new song
Keep all that's right
    and fix all that's wrong

Greet the new day
    with a kiss and a smile
With the knowledge that 
     living this life is worthwhile.

Sing a new lyric
   and hear with our heart
Combine all the separate
   that keeps us apart

Out with the old, 
    and in with the new;
Out with the "me"
    and in with the "you"

Loving each other 
     eternity's key
It's beginnings are old...
     it continues with me.

We must let love's message
     of learning to trust
dwell never ending
      in each one of us.

If you or I think
    that we don't need each other
How can any stand
    with no sister, no brother?

So give me some words
      and I'll give you a rhyme
We'll share life's sweet poem
      one line at a time.
