I can read it on your face…an expression, a look can tell others what we hold inside.

I Can Read It On Your Face

(a poem dedicated to my precious husband Stephen Cullen Weber)

I can read it on your face.

When something causes you to fear.

You needn’t worry, for I am always near.

I can read it on your face.

When a wrong fills you up with anger.

I admire your willingness to help others in danger.

I can read it on your face.

Shown through your gentle brown eyes so kind,

the compassionate spirit that fills your heart and mind.

I can read it on your face.

You are strong, courageous and brave.

Your character is always consistent in how you behave.

I can read it on your face.

When you are filled with pain and sorrow.

You never complain, yet you seek the hope of tomorrow.

I can read it on your face.

All of the love that you have for me.

I cannot express in words dear, how very much you mean to me.

Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.” 1 Corinthians 13:1

Sometimes a certain look is all that it takes to convey so much more than words can ever speak.  The eyes can express a feeling so deeply that it touches ones heart in a way that no other form of communication can transmit.  At times, the voice is useless in relaying what needs to be said.

Peace and love,

Felecia

      Thanks Mom. It is very hard to watch my husband diminish…to have face such a thing. I can only go through this by God’s grace, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
      I love you,

    “Reading” his face is actually well-founded in research! Numerous studies have found that in assessing the SINCERITY of speakers, audiences respond to the following factors:

    words
    facial expression
    body language
    pitch and tone of voice
    dress

    Of these five factors, the most important index of sincerity was FACIAL EXPRESSION. The least important was……get ready for it……..what the speaker actually said, the

      Interesting…we speak with more than our voices. I also believe that our actions speak louder than our words…we do what is in our hearts.
      Thanks for commenting.
