Special Times

[72 words]

There are times when we let favors go unmentioned.
When we leave a warm and loving word unsaid,
There are times when we forget our kind intentions,
When we’re wrapped up in our private world instead–

But though we often fail to show our feelings,
We hope the ones we love will somehow know–
And that’s why there are days meant for revealing
The love we feel but may not always show.
