Could-A, Would-A, Should-A

Could-a, Would-a, Should-a By joeysguy These are words that some people would say These are words in someone’s thoughts everyday Could-a, Would-a, Should-a in someone’s mind These are words that can be very unkind Especially if we lose a loved one from our life These words were unkind to me when I lost my wife I have asked myself, was there more I could-a done Was there anything more I should-a done These are words that can tear us apart Letting them into our mind and heart Thinking of arguments, I should-a gave in Why did I always try to win At that last moment I should-a held her so very tight So that the Angels would-a had a tough fight People say there was nothing I could-a done It’s what my wife should-a done

I say that same phrase almost everyday to myself and it is frustrating to keep looking back thinking what might've been! Good realistic poem!:) So Sorry for your loss !
