Simple Things Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

It's the simple things in life that bring happiness and joy
to hearts of women everywhere.

Little trinkets from lovers and husbands, nothing material,
just those three all important words that hold their entire
worlds together.

They say that actions speak louder than words, maybe, but
without those three precious little words, actions are
meaningless.

Only an emptiness echoes within their minds, causing hearts
to let teardrops fly from within them.

Most men don't seem to realize how important those three
little words are to a women's soul.

They elate, fill with joy and happiness, make us feel love
and being wanted, precious, special, so full of life, like
many of our fathers did when we were growing up.

A feeling of belonging, a total commitment of a man, associated
with these feelings when too young to understand them.

Three little words hold the trust of each individual in turn,
I Love You, soothes the hurt and pain of the world, if said in
sincerity and love from one person's heart to another.
