Give Me

Three words to do magic, touch the stars
Three words to undo a lifetime of hate
And anger, these all will be quenched

Thirsty yet, for those three words?
The triple threat, those beautiful ones are
Said with none of the regret
Do it all over, not a chance you bet
Then trust me to stop and say
Just the three

Most precious and sought after words,
Just those unbelievably powerful visceral like 
Vocabulary vocal treasures, vanquishing evil
With heavenly grace, say them with me now
I love you
And did I mention... God does too.

Thank you, was wondering if the alliteration would fit in nicely or not. Wasn't sure to label it free verse or not but since there wasn't a lot of alliteration I went that route. Thanks again for the kind words. -TimB
