Silence Speaks Louder

By John Northcutt Young

Words aren’t enough

When life’s rough.

We say much

With a touch.

 

Sit in peace;

Let words cease.

An unspoken word

Is better heard.

 

Take a stand;

Hold my hand.

Burdens you share

Lighter to bear.

 

Talk is cheap;

Silence runs deep.

Words are weak

When hearts speak.
