The Perfect Words I’m looking for the perfect words To bring my baby home But I can’t seem to say them right So I’m searching for a poem Something about forgiveness Where the mistake has happened before Something about the love that's gone From the man that I adore Something about a promise One that won't be believed Something about the reasons why I'd die if he really leaves. Something about the fear I feel When he walks out of my door Something true and beautiful That I haven’t said before Something that will make him feel The way he used to feel Something that will prove to him This time I am for real Something of an explanation For why I hurt him so Something sort of like a prayer So God won’t let him go Does anyone know any words That might gently touch his heart? Because if I can’t make it right I will surely fall apart by Carrie (Thanks Nan, for suggesting I finish my own poem instead of trying to borrow someone else's words.)

Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to read and comment. It did indeed come from the heart. I hope he feels the same way about this poem, I gave it to him today. So...we'll see. Thanks, Carrie |

It looks like you found some wonderful words to say it right here. Nice work. Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

Sometimes, actions speak louder than words. Hope it all works out. |

It's never easy to watch someone leave, but if his heart isn't in it I doubt you'd really want him back. Just be sure of what YOU want before jumping to any conclusions. This was a good write. Full of much truth and feeling. All writing comes |

Apache--the sincere feelings in this poem are written from your heart...perhaps he will listen. I hope so. |

Thanks, Martie, for your thought of hope. I'm still holding on to a little shread of it. |
