Poetry

Let me be patient let me be kind

Make me unselfish without being blind

Though I may suffer I'll envy it not

And endure what comes

Cause he's all that I got and

tell him...

Tell him I need him

Tell him I love him

And it'll be alright

Telll him be alright be alright

Tell him tell him I need him

Tell him I love him

It'll be alright

Now I may have faith to make mountains fall

But if I lack love then I am nothin' at all

I can give away everything I possess

But am without love then I have no happiness

I know I'm imperfect 

& not without sin 

But now that I'm older all childish things end

and tell him...

I'll never be jealous

And I won't be too proud

Cause love is not boastful

Oooh and love is not loud

Tell him I need him

Tell him I love him

Everything's gonna be alright

Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth

But if I speak wrong then what is it worth?

See what we now know is nothing compared

to the love that was shown when our lives were spared

and tell him...

Tell him I need him

Tell him I love him

And it'll be alright

Telll him be allright be alright

Tell him tell him I need him

Tell him I love him

It'll be alright
