Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

Never To Return

I can't wrap my mind around
The fact that you are gone
Never to return
You were just going to the store
To be back in a minute

Things didn't go that way
For fate stepped in
And changed many lives
You left for the last time
Never to return

What would we have said
If we had known
That moment when you left
Would be our last
Never to return

Lindsay Laurie October 1, 2019 at 8:11 PM G'day Timothy … sad time indeed with questions that will never be answered. A split second can change many lives - thanks Timothy - Lindsay Timothy Mcguire October 1, 2019 at 9:54 PM Absolutely, I just had a friend leave his house and got killed on his motorcycle. I cant wrap my mind around the question what if he had left 5 seconds later or if the car that hit him left 5 seconds earlier he would still be alive.

Sandra Adams October 1, 2019 at 7:36 PM one never knows when one will leave this earth...we should always show our love to those we love, always let them know we care...for unspoken words could end up being our biggest regret...good penning! Timothy Mcguire October 1, 2019 at 9:53 PM I could not agree more Miss Sandra, you are very wise!
