'Unspoken Words' Poem by MAXINE P. SOSO

It's amazing
how much we're alike
the understanding
we have of one another
the way we
finish each others sentences
continue eact others thoughts
Our Unspoken Words
comes straight from the heart
it can be defined without a word
it needs only a thought
We know what the other
is going to say
before a word is spoken
we've got it that way
we're joined by our minds
as well as our hearts
When you hurt
I feel your pain
when you're tired and weary
your lack of strength
I gain
to carry you through
until you are able to
Our Unspoken Words
are all about love
because
it comes from the heart
And...
we'll be together
until the Lord pulls us apart
