I'd spend my every waking moment < !signature-->Giving away my last red cent To get to where you are Regardless of how near or far Crazy though it may seem I'd even sacrifice my dream I'd have it oh so bad Without you I'd be sad Couldn't face a single day Without clouds coming my way Reminding me of how fine Life could be if you were mine These are the things I'd do If I were going to need you I'd shout it from the mountain high Reaching way up to the sky I'd give you all my heart Right from the very start I would sit and stare Never needing to compare You'd be the one for me Then there'd be no reason to be Thinking about what I'd do If I were going to need you Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 09-24-2000).] |

LoneWolf~ Beautiful response to the challenge. I like this ... You seem to find the words so effortlessly. 'You'd be the one for me Then there'd be no reason to be Thinking about what I'd do If I were going to need you' Lovely, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Sweetie, if I were going to need someone this is exactly how I would do it. This was wonderful! *hug* ~Heather< !signature--> Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.
