" 831 "

Jane Latham 1955 (East Prairie,Missouri)

When I see you in a crowded room
I long to tell you, " I love you "
You feel uncomfortable when I am bold
 I give to you, a secret code

"831" a secret code, just between us
It can be used, anytime, any place
without fear or fuss

You will know in your heart
exactly what it means
And know your feelings
I am Honoring

There are 8 letters in this phrase
Divided into 3 words
They equal 1 meaning
packed with all my love

So without ever touching
as you look into my eyes
I will whisper, "831"
As I pass you by
