Words - A Poem

Words,
An endless array of words.
Words to express love,
Words to express sadness.
Words to express play,
And even words to express sleep.
There are words to express it all.
Even as I say thank you,
Kneeling here at St. Paul's Chapel,
I feel there should be more.

Words I feel are not enough,
Not for the gift you have given all of us.
Words are not enough perhaps,
Yet the are the sweetest gift I have to give right now.

Words, an endless array of words.
We have words to build up,
And words to tear down.
Some words of centuries past ,
Have even changed in form,
And today we would not recognize them anymore.

Even as I say thank you,
Kneeling here at St. Paul's Chapel,
I feel there should be more.

Words I feel are not enough,
Not for the gift you have given all of us.
Words are not enough perhaps,
Yet the are the sweetest gift I have to give right now.
