Tell Me... Poem by david lessard

tell me...the reason that your living,
tell me, the reason that you care;
tell me...if you've ever thought of giving,
then I will tell you, if I really care.

tell me...what makes your heart beat fast,
tell me...what you think is true and right;
tell me...what important things will last,
then I will tell you, if I want you in my sight.

share with me, the riches that you treasure,
speak to me, of thoughts that touch your soul;
tell me...by what yardstick you do measure,
and I will share with you, what makes me whole.

cry with me and let me share your sorrow,
joke with me and let me share your laughter;
let's take this day and forget about tomorrow,
we'll take this joy and whatever's after.

tell me...what makes your heart beat fast,
tell me...about the special love you share;
tell me...if you believe in miracles,
then I will tell you, yes, I truly care.
