Words

Beauty is to see the wind in your hair,

The sun on your face, and a smile;

A smile that says, “I love you”

In a way that words could never say.

Love is to know you are there

And will stay with me awhile;

A touch that says, “I Love you”

In a way that words could never say.

Peace is a feeling that you care,

Care for me when I need it most;

A care that says, “I love you”

In a way that words could never say.

Beauty, Love, and Peace -- all are words;

Words that say nothing by themselves;

But when they are felt, they say, “I love you”

In a way that words could never say.

Beauty is to see the wind in your hair,

The sun on your face, and a smile;

A smile that says, “I love you”

In a way that words could never say.
