WORDS NOT SAID
Although he could not say the words
The love he felt inside
He treasured every moment
And his heart would fill with pride
He never said ‘I love you’
But he came to every game even in defeat
His son he knew
He loved him just the same
He’d pat him on the head
Or maybe ruffle his hair
And tell him he was proud of him
As long as he played fair
When he graduated college
”I Love You” wasn’t said
He smiled as he shook his hand
Mumbling ”Well done son” instead
When his son went to war
He trembled as he spoke
And brushing away the tears
He made a little joke
Now his son’s come home
He stands with eyes downcast
His hands stroking the coffin
Saying ” I Love You Son” at last.

Aw, that’s sad and beautiful. Gentle reminder that, if at all possible, we should tell the people we love — “I love you” — while we still can. Thank you for sharing this, Tania. Bright Blessings. Faerie

I know I’ve often felt regret for sharp things I’ve said without thinking. Just as bad to know you should have said certain loving and caring things-but never seemed to be able to and missed the chance….
