Prevention's Ounce

a letter gone unanswered
  a phone call unreturned

  miniscule the effort
prevents a friendship's ruin

What happens sometimes which is so wrong, we are too involved in this rat race called living, and we keep putting off what should have been done 6 months ago. I have been guilty of losing a good friend this way, and must beg her pardon and forgiveness. Perhaps things can still be mended - I think of her often. She is a poet on this site and has not written for a while. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Gulp. That's a hard one to swallow... As Kim wrote (below): We need to pay attention to our friendships!... That said, we're all human, and there are only 24 hours a day. Inevitably, sometimes we slip. (Don't beat yourself up, ok?!! ). Poetry hugs, Gershon

Ahh!! Good advice in this one. I like the rhyme. Your presence at my poem "One Mean Rooster" was inspiring. Sara

Amen my friend. When I call someone two or three times and they don't return the call I figure they don't want to talk to me so I stop calling. God Bless, JB

Same with me -- although some people just take their sweet time about getting back to you. Members of my family excel in that art! lol. Peace, Gershon
