Hesitations
Unspoken words
can keep a face from smiling,
and a pretty star from shining
into a dark summer's night;
unexpressed thoughts, concealed inside,
even with meaningful glances,
must be said with tenderness...
I am one of them,
perhaps a hesitating dreamer afraid of emotions,
of letting them out;
but if they are locked away...deep inside,
who can ever discover them?
Nothing is short of wonder,
so make your confessions without fear...
to someone who's willing to listen,
to hear the sincerity of your words,
and the sweetness of your long-kept secrets!
Untraveled roads won't lead us
to discover peoples and places,
to embrace them as our own this Human Race;
I've stood here dreamin away...
imagining those far-away lands where folks
do the best of what they have,
but heir dreams are never taken away;
we have too much to be grateful for in a Nation
where plenty is not a rarity...
and unappreciated by many!
Unsettled matters leave plenty of grief,
isn't forgiveness the quickest relief?
Resentful hearts bear the eternal grudge...
till there's little control in their rage!
Peace was meant to heal the heart of cruel intent,
it is that gentle dove hovering over us,
hesitating to land into our unclean hands;
look...I've forgiven them and I don't ever regret it!
