Never had the chance to say goodbye!
Just a quick note to all of you wonderful poets and story tellers who may have or may have not walked out the door and forgot to tell the ones you care so deeply about how you feel. It happened to me and it never will again. Just a few thoughts about the lives that were lost, so senseless, this past week in Auroroa Co. and to all the Families who now are without that special someone. I am now adding The amazing first responders who tried to help out all the preciuos children and teachers who were killied in Newtown Conn.Tell the ones you love how you feel. Here is an old poem I am re-writing!
They'll wake up this morning
like days in the past,
prepare for the day
and not a word will be said.
The children awaken
and are hurried along,
No time will be taken
to say what is wrong.
Mom and Dad leave for work
and go seperate ways,
One will not return
at the end of the day.
One has come home and
the children are there,
a simple I Love You
may have cleared the air.
Saying I'm sorry
or I love you instead,
May have been easier
now it can't be said.
So wake up each morning
and atleast say Hi,
The people you Love need to hear it
and please say Goodbye!
Dying so sudden within
the blink of an eye,
Means I never took the chance to say it,
I love you, Goodbye
