Insufficient Word

Love
As if
One word were
Sufficient for all
The words we’ve said

As if all
Meaning of
The gown
Could be in
The thread

It’s all unraveling
Now like a
Silver roll of
Yarn and I
Feel like the tom-cat

Roll round and
Round and round
Draw a twisted
Map, frayed threads
Upon the ground

So we
Speak a single
Word, in all scattered
Moments, I guess
We have one word for that to

Be who you are
And say what you feel
'Cause those who mind don't matter
And those who matter don't mind
-Dr Suess

Masterpiece doesn't come close to how wonderful this poem is...

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb....,"he murmured. "What a stupid lamb," I sighed. "What a sick, masochistic lion."

Wow Thanks Guys!

And Kate...I don't have a clue.

Be who you are
And say what you feel
'Cause those who mind don't matter
And those who matter don't mind
