Three Words


If you could lock up three words

to keep forever,

that were yours and yours alone

 

What three would you choose

that were not ‘I Love You,’

your heart to save and own

 

Three magical words

to live within,

now yours forever more

 

Three magical words

to light the way

—and open every door

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
