I whispered a few words
Almost on impulse
To unburden the load
Sitting heavy on my heart
And offered them to you
For you to mull over
Or maybe not
But my job is over
For those words have left me
Never to cause any grief or joy
Now it is really up to you
Should you take a moment
To relook and rethink, and
Allow those words to foment
Inducing you to give a sweet reply
Or maybe just a nod of the head
Or to just cast aside
And move on
Maybe…….
