IMPORTANT WORDS
Sometimes the important words are only small, like adore, or love, or care
We can shout them loud or whisper them quietly, to those whose lives we share
To say them we should mean them, not feign there depth or meaning
For the heart it takes them all in, there’s no security or screening
Sometimes the important words to those we love and care the most for
Are the easiest to retrieve from our repertoire of words stored
They may be overused, though not with deliberate intention
Sometimes our human brain is a little short on word retention
Sometimes the important words are not always those we say
They lay bereft and all alone, waiting to be spoken on another day
To say them may be truthful, they may hurt, cause someone pain
Better not to utter them, hide them away, nothing to gain
Sometimes the important words can no longer be contained
They spill out as the truth will when too long it’s been restrained
But their honesty will quell the ache, and knowing is all for good
To deal with truth and honesty, then we are not misunderstood
Sometimes the important words are not the easiest to say
For some to say, I love, I care, it’s just not been there way
It doesn’t mean that they’re unfeeling or uncaring, not at all
They’ll be there in times of need, you won’t need to ask or call
Sometimes in using the important words, something’s lost along the way
As so many of us hear and utter them, several times a day
We say Take Care, I Miss You, I Love You, You’re My World
A few words amongst the thousands that at our ears are hurled
Sometimes the important words travel continents and space
They’re used in every language, by men and women of every race
It doesn’t matter how you say them, or whatever is your style
Tell someone you love and care for them, say the words, and watch them smile.
If you have no one to say it to, or to say the words to you
Don’t worry, say it to yourself, it’s ok to love yourself too
