Ms Lee Poem by Thomas Dooley

A run away for the south east
Fought through the storms of family
Chasing after love was all she could see

Growing up under government hand
Every time creating unconditional love
Thinking she found the right man

I was a friend and in my mind a lover
But a gallon of milk was all she needed from me
What I wanted to be could never be

Don't hide behind the drapes or under the sheets
Be the beautiful one your meant to be
Miss Lee, Miss Lee, Miss Lee

Still dealing with the past as she fallows her own path
Sometimes cloud is in the way of a brighter day
Some time we have to climb over trash to get to a greener land

Unconditional love she became mother of
Always on the lookout for something she for the one
That loving desire it was only an emotional liar

In jewelry box she keep her collection of pain
She put it on from time to time
But it didn't look good on her, she didn't want to hear

Don't hide behind those piercings and tattoos
Be the beautiful one that is inside of you
Miss Lee, Miss Lee, Miss Lee

What was once was, was a lot fun
But what we dreamed will never be
If you can't see the friend inside of me

If you had shaken that baby maker at me
I would be living a different reality

Hope you find the love I feel for you
Miss Lee
