Don't Wait Til the Roses Die

Funny..

Now that the birds no longer sing

And the kids no longer smile

And the sun no longer shines 

And the moon no longer sparkles..

That's when you want me?

When I gave it all to you

Made all your wishes come true

Kissed all your pains away

Made all of your sorrows vanish

It was no longer me that you wanted 

So what's the problem now?

Do you miss being sun-kissed

And smelling the flowers when you wake

And being woken up by the sweet sound of love

And knowing what it's like to be appreciated?

I figured you would. 

Never took you for a poet

But I do appreciate the effort

Next time do remember

That when someone gives you spring--

Year round

Make sure you love them

You appreciate them

You show them daily

That you'd be hopeless without them...

Don't wait til the roses die
