Too True, Too Often
Too often we don't realize
What we have until it is gone
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
We hold dearest to our hearts
And we allow foolish things
To tear our lives apart.
Far too many times we let
Unimportant things into our minds
And then it's usually too late
To see what made us blind.
So be sure that you let people know
How much they mean to you
Take that time to say the words
Before your time is through.
Be sure that you appreciate
Everything you've got
And be thankful for the little things
in life that mean a lot.

ReplyDeleteThat is so true..
I agree with each and every sentence spoken in here...especially:

Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."

ReplyDeleteMemories came rushing back for me too, as I read this poem sent to me as a fwd.
The shadow always looms over you, a tainted past, that you may ignore for a while until it catches you by your shoulders, turns you around and looks you straight into the eye. And you are scared when things go your way cos you are waiting for the fall. Cos you know that the fall is inevitable. And knowing that, you never really can fully relish the present.
