Beyond Words If I said I love you With every single breath From the moment of my birth To the moment of my death I could not begin to tell you Just how much you mean to me For there are no words to express The feelings that I have for thee. Every tear that you shed Washes over me like a flood I want to take away your pain And shield you with my love. Every time you smile My spirit takes to flight The warmth of your happiness Fills my heart with purest light. I want to be able To tell you, so desperately But the words cannot be found To say just what I mean. So every night I pray As I fall on my knees That what I cannot tell you I can show you through my deeds. ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

You have done a fantastic job of expressing your feelings of love and I agree that we need to tell someone we love them and to put our words into action and show them our love. James |

Terry, I don't know - your words are speaking pretty loudly here. This is so very touching. It melts my heart. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Terry* This was magnificent! This is most definately how it is in true love....never able to show it all or tell it all and the words "I Love You" just don't say it all, but when you find "her" she'll know....no words needed Hold me for yesterday Kiss me for tomorrow But love me for today. |
