WITHOUT WORDS

I want so much just to talk with you..
But for now, I'll have to do it this way.
If it were possible honey, IF we could talk,
I know the first thing I would say!
 
I wonder Donna, If we'd say it with words..
Or maybe just the way that we used to:
WITHOUT WORDS..with that 'special' look,
We each knew it meant, 'I LOVE YOU!'
 
I remember how you prided yourself,
In interpreting my every expression.
We said so very many things to each other
WITHOUT WORDS...in those special, quiet sessions.
 
I could tell by your eyes when you were happy.
They also let me know you were sad...
Your eyes would take on a still different look,
That would say there were problems you had.
 
We DID communicate...I will say that!
I'm truly thankful that we could.
I'm convinced it was that particular gift,
That made our years together, so good!
 
Oh! Sure, we had a few storms.
The clouds hid the sun, and changed the weather.
Even THEN, I'd watch your eyes, they'd tell me,
They showed the sun, and again draw us closer together.
 
I was impressed by a saying I heard...
I can remember the most important part...
It said, "The mouth tells what you have on your mind,
But the EYES tell what's in your heart"!
 
Donna, I long for one of our talks WITHOUT WORDS,
They were often our most sincere...
A touch of the hand, and that gentle smile,
Spoke louder than words, to my ears.
 
We'll meet again soon, on those streets of Gold,
That the Lord is preparing for His own...
Then once again Honey, we'll talk WITHOUT WORDS..
And we will never, ever again, be alone!
