A song is never wasted,
If it's sung into the air,
It can reach many people,
It can go anywhere.
If it's a song of praise and joy,
That comes from deep within,
Be it loudly sung or gently hummed,
It then becomes a hymn.
A poem is never wasted,
If it's written from the heart,
True, it may expose the poet,
And reveal his inner part.
But it can provide for others,
Thoughts or words they'd like to say,
Release something deep inside them,
And soothe them in some way.
A prayer is never wasted,
Though quick replies aren't always seen,
God answers when He's ready,
In the manner that He deems.
Prayers may be prayed with others,
Or whispered softly all alone,
Their fashion doesn't matter,
Nor their volume nor their tone.
But of all these fine expressions,
By far, love is the best,
No way can it be wasted,
It is the basis for the rest.
