Lost Words

I hear the pain of friends, I hear lyrics on the radio, I see images in movies, I remember. Friends who have lost Loved ones without a chance, A chance to say goodbye, To mend fences, To heal wounds, To make peace, To say “I love you” One last time. Melodies of remorse Play discordant tunes Images flash by on screens Gone dark Lights, camera, no actions But not for me, No lost words, Pain, yes, But no regrets. I had the chance To say goodbye To mend fences To make peace To say “I LOVE YOU” And to hear those Sweet, precious words. A final parting gift As angels beckoned him home. Take care to heal the wounds, Mend fences, Make peace, Don’t live with the regret of Lost words.
