The silences formed her nature;
When for others words came easy,
For her words were clumsy, gauche.
They came in left-handed strokes,
At inopportune times and slashed,
Through many hearts like knives.
That’s not what she had wanted,
All she wanted was to bring smiles,
And show people how she cared.
Instead she watched others do it;
Bring smiles and wipe others’ tears,
Or soothe a lonesome broken heart.
Silences remained her language until,
She was loved; made to laugh aloud,
Forget her tears, with loving words.
