Love Story

She never says the words “I'm sorry”
But she reveals their substance
when she takes my open hand
in her way, saying all that is needed

The words I’m sorry are just words. Changed behaviors or loving patience are better gestures to make amends and empty words ever were.

Most times has a lot to reveal yet it is spoken in a few line. Nice job!

Speak louder than words....sometimes it is a simple gesture that lets us know how one feels. Well done.
