My Values
My values are love, honesty, freedom and fun,
The first one I've plenty to give,
Someone would be lucky to accept it from me
Because it's good for as long as I live.
Now honesty is very important to me,
When I give it I want it returned,
I could never share my life with another
If lying was all that he learned.
And freedom I'd want, and freedom I'd give
Because you just can't keep love in a cage
To take out in a moment of passion,
And put back in a moment of rage.
Having fun is something I'd forgotten to do,
I don't remember how long it had been,
But now, how wonderful it is to feel,
As laughter flows deeply within. gb
