Over Due Gratitudes

From the quite memories of my mind; through the distance of time; The past has touched me. And I marvel at the realities of time and distance; I was a careless man back then; wouldn’t take the time to notice; A devoted friend chose to share life with me. And I cringe at this fellow who thought he worked all angles. And gazing back in retro-spec I have to feel love; Good people are not to be treated so lightly; And in the end I wasn’t cool; but much more the fool God bless my one time friend who; Probably would have been better off never meeting me. I thank her for caring; though most of the time I was blinded.
