Michael Gelb Poet Couplet

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
