Three Little Words

No, not the excellent movie from 1950 staring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton. Not even the heart-tugging book by Ashley Rhodes-Courter and especially not even the 1930 Duke Ellington – Ruby and Kalmar song redone so well by Nat King Cole.

But rather three little words most of us hope to hear one day. Words that can mean almost more than anything to each of us trying to find that one in millions to share them with – words that can give us a reason to live life.

It’s not like those three little words are meant for everyone. Sadly, some will never choose to say them to anyone even though they may have thought about it. It’s not three little words spoken as an after thought like thank you or have a nice day. It’s three little words you’ve waited to hear for years or wanted to say to a special someone but you weren’t sure in this life you ever would.

You can shout them out in a burst of unbridled joy or tearful glee. You can sing them out loud to someone special. You know you want to tell your family and friends you’ve waited so long to be able to say them. In a happy, thank you dancing in the street world, you can even pass them on to people you meet. You especially could stand in the middle of a busy street in New York City and yell them to the world.

It’s like the feelings we had in the sixties when flower power and similar, free expressions were the sway for a while but now you really realize just how much they actually mean at this moment in time.

And especially you can say them with truly sincere feelings to the one you hope to spend the rest of your life with – one that understands their true meaning who can and will share that happiness with you. And you know there is nothing that can compare to those three little words.

You’ve thought about them for so long you can’t remember a time when you never wanted to say them. They went through your head like lyrics to a favorite song repeating over and over but the time was never right until now…now, that one absolutely delicious moment when you can say those three little words out loud: Trump Is Dead!

It won't get rid of his cult, but I would take that great news with glee. I could feel happier and hopeful, even if it was only for a little while.
