Power of Words Not Spoken

How many hearts have been totally broken
Due to the power of words that were never spoken?

How many babies, kids and young folk
Needed to hear words that we never spoke?

How many elderly women and men
Needed to hear "I love you" again?

Have many infants as they learned to coo
Needed to learn how to say "I love you?"

Words are a powerful force in our life
They bring joy to child, husband or wife.

They comfort our neighbors and bring a smile
When we stop to visit and chat for awhile.

Be kind with your words and honest and true
And say loving things to those dear to you.

But always remember that hearts can be broken
By not saying those things that need to be spoken...

Great couplet poem! I don't know how many times I've walked away from someone wishing I had said more. To simply be loving toward others is spreading the Love of Jesus. Thank you for the reminder.

The title of this poem is almost enough on it's own.
Sometimes the title makes the poem it seems.
From the theme of this title alone I feel inspired to write.
very nice,
peace to you.

Thank you!

you are most welcome!
