The Power of Three Little Words

The power of three little words Three little words that we all need to hear Spoken out loud or whispered in our ear Since we were born we heard our dear mother say them Lived our lives wishing and hoping our father could say them Brothers and sisters... they need to say them too Yes, there's no more powerful words than these three little words I love you! These three words sometimes have much more power than you realize They've been said at just the right time and saved a young persons life An anxious young man may say it to his beloved hoping she will confirm that she too cares But...there's no more awkward silence than having I love you left floating unanswered in the air. There are those that are stoic and who try to show it by their actions alone Saying you know how I feel...don't you don't I show my affection for you? It may be so... but there's so much more power in saying those three little words I love you! So go ahead! Just say it! Make someones good day even better Say it out loud, whisper it in their ear say it in a card or even... in a letter? Say it today! say it everyday! it makes you feel even better too! For there are no three words more powerful than I love you. John Derek Hamilton April 12,2016
