Mere Words
by Kit McCallum
I searched among the card displays,
To see if I could find,
A little something that would say
Just what was on my mind.

However there was not a one,
That captured it just right,
For no one else can understand
Just what I'd like to write.

I even find it difficult
To try to write it down,
For how do I portray to you,
The love that I have known?

I close my eyes and what I see,
Is someone I adore;
A person who is beautiful,
Right down into their soul.

Mere words cannot describe
The many qualities you show,
The love and caring nature that
You share with those who know.

Your kind and gentle temperament,
Your sweet angelic smile,
Your softly spoken sentiments,
That reach across the miles.

Your smile and laugh that sparkle with
The softness of your sighs,
The way your face lights up a room ...
That twinkle in your eye.

The loving gestures through the years,
That quickly come to mind,
For always you've a gentle word
To calm and soothe I find.

I struggle and I search to try
To find some words anew ...
And yet I cannot capture
All the things that make you you.

I shall therefore, be satisfied
That you must simply know,
Just how I feel about you,
For with words I cannot show.

many a times i have felt that i cannot actually make people understand how important there presence is in my life, i always feel that there is much more to b appreciated & complimented than what i actually do, i always fall short of words. i think this poem will definately help me telling my dear ones that i care but i connot actually say.

Lala
This poem is super awesome, I found a card for my step mom for her last birthday that did a pretty good job in telling her how I feel, but it still didnt quite capture it just right. The other day, I told her, and that has got to be one of the best things that I have ever done. This poem is great. It explains a lot in a few verses!

Sometimes in life you discover a jewel, to carry with you, and in futures to come, pass on to others to brighten their life. This is one.
Tsega
you know i was believing in silence. meaning words can not express passions but really you do it thruogh your poems.
