It Won’t Be A Noisy Story

I feel compelled to tell you a tale, a narration

of an important incident. One of love and caring

and anguish, and it won't be a noisy tale.

It was a quiet love that silently accompanied

the chores and the duties that must be done,

because actions are louder than words.

As with all stories, this one has a beginning,

a middle and an end. It is only made interesting

because something created conflict,

and no story is complete without it.

Yes, I am compelled to tell you the story,

an important story of an incident that changed

the course of the lives of the characters. And one day,

someday, I will tell you about it.
