How long has it been since you've heard
Someone declaring their love for you?
Why are we not prone to say the word
That removes clouds tinged with sorrow's hue?
If you love someone, tell them so,
Bring a banquet to them, served with wine,
From their hungry heart the thanks will flow
As on love's sweetest verses they dine
If you feel love, say it today,
For tomorrow is promised to none,
If you can chase but one cloud away,
Sorrow will be lost, and new hope won
Say it today, empty your heart,
When those thoughts are suppressed, they might die,
Release the joy loving words impart,
Pull back the bow, let Love's arrow fly
Say it today, make someone smile,
Erasing both despair and malice,
Give them reason to find life worthwhile,
Let them drink deeply from Love's chalice
Say it today, throw a lifeline
To a heart drowning in misery,
Say those loving words that ring divine,
And send them.... Special Delivery!
There is much wisdom in these thoughts so artistically presented. We often lose sight of the fact that everyone we interact with is walking through their own version of this same life each with a heart that must have love and affirmation to remain healthy and whole. So much of the brokenness in this world would disappear if the precepts were practiced regularly as your writing so sagely suggests. A timely and well-crafted piece.

Like Bri I won't go out to night and declare my love to all and sundry I meet... but a lovely poem indeed.
