They say
‘I understand’ with nothing
But a glance
Meeting above
Our daughters’ heads
They say
‘I know’ with nothing
But a slow smile
Shared behind
Our husbands’ backs
They say
‘I care’ with nothing
But a prayer
Breathed behind
A tender tear

My daily dozen, thanks be to God could be multiplied over and over daily!
