WHY DIDN'T I TALK TO YOU?
A million questions I had had
Now lay buried under six feet of earth
The wrinkles that I once disgusted
I realize now had seen more sorrows and little joys than I ever knew
In them lay hundreds of tiny stories
Of struggles, of fights, of peace, of joy
How late I was in realizing your value
Lost in a world that measured worth in binary digits
And chased all things worldly
Never did I realize that you're as gold as the antiques I value
Why didn't I talk to you more?
Why didn't I listen to you more?
How I wish God would give me just five minutes more with you?
But the clock has ticked away
My questions unasked
My love ungiven
and My heart unopened
I realize you are now gone
And I mustn't repeat my mistake
It takes only a smile, a touch, and a gentle pat
To make meaningful memories
And eliminate regrets
