A Lesson Taught
If I could teach you a lesson,
I wonder what you will say,
Should I teach you now I ask,
Teach you here today,
What is it I ask of you,
In which you wish to learn,
Is it something so special,
Something that you yearn,
If only you could tell me,
The easier it would be,
But if that is impossible,
Then let the lesson free,
It will never hurt you,
To learn something so new,
Just close your eyes, and imagine,
The answer will be so true,
If I could teach you a lesson,
What is it I ask of you,
Could you then teach me,
Yes my love please do.
