Tell Me Something Good

sometimes you just wanna smack 'em upside the head!

The other day I begged of you to tell me something good
you find in me when you see the love you say you would
die before giving up and never let me go
yet when it came for you to speak you said you didn't know

Continuing on you did proceed to tell me what is wrong
with how I speak and act and dress it went on like a bad song
and when I asked you again you could not tell me one good thing
you love in me while I sat in tears hoping to hear love ring

Since you could not tell me take a seat now and hear me speak
about the good things that I see in me and maybe love will leak
into your heart of stone just listen for a moment while I talk
it's painless and I promise that not a word in anger will I balk

Never have I stolen from a person on this earth
and if there is someone there that needs to know their worth
I will sit and show them how the good in them just shines
even though you say it is just your wife that whines

I am smart and a good cook and give to all in need
I can sing a song so sweet that birds will stop to heed
I can write and with delight help others write their words
and even see the good in you when you're acting like a t**d

I possess unfailing faith in a God that loves me true
and when your faith is failing I'm there to pray for you
I choose to see the good in people who will never be perfect
and know that deep down inside some is hurt they can't detect

I'm there for anyone who may need a helping hand
and because I stand upon the Rock I help people in the sand
I can turn the blandest food into something restaurants serve
and for you to not see the good in me really takes some nerve

I don't drink, do drugs or sleep with men that are not you
however let me take this time to say that's just what I'd do...
all those things if I were as bad as you seem to think I am
but what you think right now right here I just don't give a damn.

This is brilliant! I wonder why one is taken for granted and no one takes time out to appreciate and yet claim that you are "special".i love the spirit of defiance that transcends the pain

More like watching a flower bloosom in spring, this is the exact feeling of seeing a woman deeply open herself to her yearning sense for love.

I've said before sometimes I am ashamed of my sex. This works and flows very well
