LOVE TELLS ON ITSELF
 

Love can be silent ,
and never expressed in words,
And be as true and as deep,
as love that's loudly heard.

For one can love someone,
whom he may not hold or touch,
And though his love is silent,
he can love her, oh, so much.

A silent love can be selfless,
with nothing returned to the giver,
That just keeps giving of itself,
like a stream feeds into a river.

And sometimes silent love,
speaks without its being heard,
For love often tells on itself,
without saying a single word.
