I Have Some Words

I have some words, Looking for a home In a poem. The words are love, you and I, And words that rhyme with Sad good-byes. I have some words, Looking for a home In a song. The words are happy and Oh so long... The words are lonely, sometimes, And so doggone forlorn. Which of course, is how words are, In the early morning. Like now, when it's 3: 52 a.m. And you are gone, somewhere! Words tumble and jive Early in the morning, Looking for some place to be Where there is music, And they can squeeze in between The notes and mellow someone's soul. I have some words that are Trying not to get lost, Words trying to hold on To be a part of a poem And words that ask why you Keep coming back, but Only in run away dreams. I see your smile and hear your laughter, Smell the scent of you, And right now I am trying To find a home for the words That will let you know, you were Always loved... I have some words that want To be quiet now and pressed Between the pages of a book. Soft words, sweet words, But it seems I can't let go of Them - got to keep them For myself, Until I can put them In a poem or A song.
