Do What's Right Poem by Leria Hawkins

Do What’s Right
Date: October 2,2015

Don’t let love die unspoken
Trapped within your bones
Fling it far and wide, my love
Let it find a home
And if at first uncertain
‘bout where to come to rest
Give it wings to fly, my dear
Trust…to do its best

Don’t let us leave, departed
Before we’ve had the chance
To see if what we started
Could bloom into romance
And if at first uncertain
‘bout where it all will lead
Just trust yourself, my darling
Love is always free

Don’t whisper words of passion
With nothing in your heart
For lust is just a second
That could never play the part
And if at first uncertain
About how you really feel
Then spare the empty promise
If just to know the thrill

Don’t rush to rash decisions
Too quick to make a stand
You know I’ve waited patiently
For the chance to hold your hand
But if you know for certain
That love will never be
Then do what’s right, my precious
And say goodbye to me…
