Tears of Regret

Her sorrow she could not disguise As she stood silently, looking down, Tears gathered in her eyes And slowly fell to the ground That she had not come to visit him was one of her deepest regrets She didn't know his condition was that grim But now she came to pay her respects..... Standing silently at the grave site Her heart was heavy, her spirit contrite

Congratulations and a 7 on this well-written, very sad piece, Joseph! We have to show people that we love and care for them while they are still alive! Otherwise, we have to live with regrets after they are gone. Hugs. Pandita

Such feelings of guilt and regret would be a heavy thing indeed. Very wonderfully expressed.

Heart-touching and beautiful one, Joseph...so many times we take for granted that 'we have enough time'...I love this.
