If Nothing could speak br what would it say? br br At five, br it often says, br 'Please, ' and 'Thank you, ' br just as it is taught. br br At ten, br Nothing says br whatever mom and dad br or teacher br wants to hear. br br At fifteen, br Nothing says br nothing br to no one. br br At twenty, br Nothing only listens br to the cries br of the children br and husband. br br At thirty, br Nothing finds a voice br and has a lot to say, br but these things br no one wants to hear. br br At forty, br Nothing is no more. br Something has taken br its place and br br She speaks br loud and strong; br and sometimes even br eloquently (so She's been told) br br Something strongly advises Nothing, br to speak or yell or cry or write.
