By Jackie Harvey
So many words left unspoken
Swirling around in your head
You meant them but yet didn’t speak them
You uttered some others instead.
Meanwhile time journeys on as a river –
It can rush but then suddenly stall.
It can seem to drift on forever
or pass as if nothing at all.
You think that you have a lifetime
But a lifetime is what? Who can say?
For some it is years – sad and happy
But for others it’s just one more day
We all take so much for granted
Oh, one more day, we can wait
But sometimes we just simply cannot
Because one more day is too late
We must cherish the moments we’re given
Not allow them to wash down like rain
We must treasure those moments we’re given
We may not have the chance to again
Author Bio:
I don’t do poetry much but this was written to be read at my husband’s funeral eight years ago. I believe we must do what we can and not find reasons (excuses?) not to.
