Tell Her

I haven't had a chance

yet

to share this 

with my girl

She needs to hear

but not wait 30 years to open

her ears

to the peals

all around

those belles and beaus

ringing their love

ringing their love

They sing

loud and soft

But if you

close up your heart

nothing

can make you

reverberate with

the motion 

of the ocean

of pure

(there is no other word)

LOVE

So I want her

to know

all around her

are the sounds

waves

coming to envelop

and tell her 

she is loved

Please

don't wait

til you're 

middle aged

and

an almost stranger

coworker

has to tell 

you

what you were too

blind to

look at

too deaf to be

opened to

the indisputable

fact

they love you

they all do

open up

let it in

as Wally says

drink their milkshakes

accept their love

(pardon my misquote

but...)

you are loved
