MY INTENT

Words fail
but words are all I’ve had
and
I have no way
to present my appreciation
without.

Better folk could show you
emotionally
what you mean.
Others could express just what you signify
physically.

I have no such skills.
I wish I did,
wish I could show you
what I feel
but
all I have are these trite
small statements
and, as I might have mentioned before,
words fail.
