Unspoken

~

so many times
I looked tenderly upon you
filled with love

you were my sun
my light

I looked with admiration
unceasing gratitude
for who you were in my life

for how you wrapped our children
in the cocoon of your heart

freeing them to fly
when ready were their wings

for your gentle way
that drew our friends close
holding fast
harbored in your kindness

but years numbered
one upon the next

I remained all too mute

until fate carried you
beyond the sound
of my foolish voice

would that I had a bottle
to carry my loving words
across the ocean of time

over the horizon of death

to tell you the 10,000 things
I said too seldom in your life
