Words Unsaid
As I lay here in the dark in my bed
words come to me I’ve never said.
Things perhaps I have muttered,
thought, but never even uttered.
Words can be like sharp arrows
that when loosed from the bow
and fly to their mark bring sorrow.
There are words that we may throw
that when said we can’t take away.
But the words of which I speak today
are the ones that need to be spoken,
words of true love not yet conveyed
to our loved ones these words unspoken.
Will you give them as a goodbye or greeting
perhaps, to those who hunger for your emotion.
Our days are numbered, time is quickly fleeting
for us to bless with our words of love and devotion.
