Notes About The Poem

My Thoughts Unsaid


I left so many thoughts unsaid
as she lay silent on her bed,
that unexpected day she died;
a diagnosis that had lied.

She had some time to look ahead;
I left so many thoughts unsaid.
They did not see her end was near;
that she would go, we did not fear.

Tho, sick she was, and end would come,
we sensed much later she'd succumb.
I left so many thoughts unsaid,
and now my tears of grief are shed.

Must not hold back on thoughts to share
with those we love, must always bare
our hearts before death's fickle dread.
I left so many thoughts unsaid.

Such a fine and touching Quatern, Sandra. Indeed, in such cases many words are left unsaid, and a permanent feeling of misgiving haunts the mind. ~ Congratulations on your fine win. Regards // paul
