The One Hundred Twelfth, Apr. 21, 2011

does repetition lessen value
can redundancy reduce worth
does it just become routine
and lose all personal meaning?

will saying "I'm sorry" every day
make the words seem less true
or cause you to doubt them
and think me to be insincere?

could "I love you" a million times
make the other heart grow colder
filling with disbelief and doubt
until the warmth fades into chill?

there is a great power in words
that never fades with wear
but the power can easily be stolen
when used without the heart

say the words you feel inside you
mean them every time you speak
and their power will not weaken
remaining as true as your heart
