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.
