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
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
Ahhhhhh, now that hit home. Ouch and Yeah!!
