Making A Better World - Milton Louw

I feel so sad these days When I sit and think of what we had And I wish things I could change So they wouldn’t turn out so bad! But this is a useless hope As you found someone new And without you I’ll just have to cope! I’m trying real hard to forget you; To think just about what lies ahead But all I do is revert to memories When I lay myself down on my bed. “Memories of wonderful times we spent When everything was happy And every loving word we meant”. You once wrote down the words of a song, And I like to think you meant what you said When you wrote “I just can’t stop loving you!” ‘Cause these are words that stuck in my head As these words for me are true! Now it seems you’ve forgotten me And that kind of makes me feel blue.

I know this poem isn’t much of a present But until I’m qualified that’s all I can afford But you got to realize every word is meant So please, when you read this, don’t get bored! Why the heck can’t I be rich, rolling in money? So I can buy everything your heart desires Whether it be clothes, pots containing real honey, Or even a hot set of tires. But my lot I suppose I must accept And the most I can do is to give yo...

Thank you for your wonderful (love) – letter, I know no guy could have got a better And it makes me doubly happy Because you say you really do love me, And I can say the same too As I do really love you Cause this feeling is really good And this feeling is really good And that’s the way it should I love you plenty And this is my way to say I’m glad you love me As I really do know so And maybe together –one day – we’ll stay, And I hope that you won’t then say no!
