Unheard Whisper

they listen long and close
   to what they do not say

   and hum their unheard whisper,
      perking up their day;

      they thank the years that
         smooth away all hurt, all grief,

         years of hopeful love that seem
            forever though brief;

            and now he clasps her hands
               it's time for him to go,

               she nods a vow of hope,
                  unspoken, they both know !
