It's alright to say, "I love you!"

Today's crumb is a poem from Amos Yoder, an Amish educator from Indiana, USA. It appeared in a magazine called School Echoes, supporting education in one-room Amish school houses.

It's alright to say, "I love you!"
To someone every day,
To obey our Lord's commandment
In a real and vital way.
The world is filled with sorrows
That sometimes touch us all,
And to know that we are loved
Lifts us when we fall.


The heart can be a lonely place
When no one comes to call
But when someone says, "I love you!"
We feel we're ten feet tall.
Three little words can mean so much
And they're not hard to say.
It's alright to say, "I love you!"
To someone every day.
