VALUED TOO LATE

in #poetry7 years ago

In today's world, there are people who will never care about others until they are no more. Sometimes we never value what we have until we lose them.

Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on
And before I knew it, a year is gone
And I never see my friend's face;
For life is a swift and terrible waste
He knows I like him just as well
As in the days when I rang his bell
And he rang mine
If we were younger then;
Now we are busy tired men
Tired of playing a foolish game
Trying to make a name
Tomorrow I'll say I'll call on him
Just to show that I am thinking of him
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes
And distance between us grows and grows
Around the corner yet miles away
"Here's a telegram sir "

Jim died today

How many people have we refused to value, why not reach out to them before its too late? money-2724241_1920.jpg
