I Always will need You

Like the year needs all four seasons

like the morning needs the dawn,

like a song needs a melody

like we all need to get along;

like the flowers and the plants

need the morning dew,

just as these needs are important

I always will need you.

Like a painter needs a canvas

like an audience needs a show,

like a baby needs it’s Mother

for love with which to grow.

Like a rainbow needs it’s colors

and birds, a sky so blue;

just as these needs are important

I always will need you.

Doc, I think you are a bloody good poet

otherwise I wouldn't hassle you so much. Come on, give me a break "and birds, a sky so blue" you can do better. Give us some raw emotion, drop the fucking rhyme, honestly man, I think it would help. cheers, Jess
