You need not say the words
but rather, let your actions speak.
Allow them to deliver the message
that this healing heart does seek.

If you were to shout them out
no, I would not be able to hear,
for it is only what I see
that makes them ring loud and clear.

Sometime words can not express
those things held deep within,
but they only can be heard
when two hearts beat as one  again.



{for a lack of a better title......}
I must have had my momma's will
and Gods Amazing Grace...

I'm a survivor....

Very aptly put...
actions speak louder
than words...

Well done, my dear - I have missed you!

Donna, this is so true. It's odd that I mentioned this in my poem I posted today, too.
Somebody can tell you something all day
long, but if their actions don't prove what
they're saying, it's worth nothing.
Hugs,

Ethel, I will have to go searching as I have not read in quite some time, things have been hectic to say the least.
I've been saying actions speak louder than words all of my life.....some people just don't get it....hugs.

Donna,

Wonderfully said. So very, very true.
No other comment due except enjoyed this and there is at least one person I'd like to send it to....but, I won't, for depending on who it is,  sometimes it is just better to move on.


Hugs, Pat

Greetings and salutations, Donna!

I am a great believer in actions speaking louder than words, as well ~ and you have expressed this with your usual eloquence and grace.

Warm hugs,
Linda

This is true, Donna! Actions speak so much louder, than words alone.

Donna, this is a wonderfully written piece with a message that many people just don't get. Good grief, try and get it!!!

I hope you don't mind, but I have printed it out and hung it on my refrigerator.

Hugs for peace, Marti
