Tell Me Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Tell Me

Rating: 4.2


Tell Me

tell me things about love
tell me things about beauty
tell me things
about the Lord above
tell me things about christianity
so where do you belong?
are you that one?
that still lives betwixt
heaven and
hell
or are you just that angel
that guards the precious well?
this is not
a sequel, baby
all my life
I have been healthy and strong
and this
this is just my life song
for all honesty
I do not wrong
if I ask you about
your belief
and now I tell you
Jesus will come in the night
as a thief

coming as a thief in the night,
is a dutch proverb
that means:
very surprising

tell me things about love
tell me things about beauty

I tell you one thing true
true love is beauty
