Poem #246 Teach Me, Tell Me

Updated: Jun 24, 2023


Tell me what to say to make the pain go away.

Teach me what to do to bring your smile back.

It's been a while since I've seen you laugh.

So teach me how to bring the blue sky back today.


You've been dealing with grays lately.

There's not a lot of colour in your diet anymore

you used to sparkle like a million suns

so tell me, how do I recharge your energy?


Friend, I'll be praying for you,

If you let me, I'll be crying with you,

Don't forget me; I wanna smile with you.


So teach me how to bring the blue sky back today.

So tell me, how do I recharge your energy?

How do I bring you back to me?
