A thousand Syllables
Isn't it amazing,
how a simple smile can communicate
love
How a tender touch can tell someone
you care
It doesn't matter if two don't speak the same language
Or if no words come can be spoken
A small gesture
cuts through all words
A grin lightens once-dull eyes
and a warm embrace makes
lengthy words you plan in your head
disappear
You don't need a thousand syllables
to tell someone you are there for them
You're just there, by their side
My hand holds a small, delicate one
A wrinkled hand that is tired, beaten, and ready to let go
Yet it still has the strength to squeeze mine back,
and communicate
love
