I've watched you for three days now you look at him and smile slowly mixing his coffee one sugar, two creams You tuck his napkin one corner in his pajama top handing him the cup handle to his left He smiles forgetting the words thank you you watch as he drinks eyes full of love and compassion He speaks in words you do not understand a language from his homeland forgetting the language of our land You smile as if you understand and maybe you do For LOVE used as a verb has no boundaries and is understood in all languages |
