Telling Her the Truth

I disagree completely
with the doctors of the dawn
I wonder just in passing, honey 
which side are you on 
Now I'll walk down 
the ancient street 
propelled through the fierce years
by my own two feet
If you see me with a smile 
Then walk that extra mile 
Because this tale has just begun 
And I know you want to have fun 
So don't say you weren't given any warning 
Eventually you'll see 
in the clear light of morning 
Now you know I disagree 
completely with the doctors of the dawn 
Now tell me, honey,  which side are you on

Wow, Matt, you read poems and then you listen to them. You breathe it in! Sorry to say I am not sure who the doctors of the dawn may be, but I do love the way you tell it! Gotta read another! andrea
