Say It Today Poem by Lora Colon

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!
