Mother

I know I never tell you
And I really think I should
But to say those words aloud
It’s as if I never could

The reason I don’t say them
Is only because I’m scared
I never speak those words to anyone
But just know I’ve always cared

You’re my mother
And no one can ever replace
The fact I don’t see you often
Doesn’t make me forget your face

The words I should tell you
Are like old books no one reads
They’re always in my head
Not knowing where to lead

But now I am ready
To tell you how I feel
I’m sorry to kept these words to myself
I want you to know they are real

“I love you.”

I've known this feeling,
and you've expressed it,
very well indeed.

A wonderful poem and so true for many people, we sometimes wait far too long to say those three words that can warm the soul and change a person.
