What Ifs
By far the saddest thing ever experienced
Is separating from family members
Because of drama
We fail to see the big picture
And what is really important
We are only on this Earth for a short time
There is only enough time for love, not hate
Our most precious gift is our family
Even with our tempers, screw-ups and egos
We must never forsake our family
The pain of alienating and driving away a family member
Stings and never goes away
We can understand when
A stranger hurts us
But never a loved one
This type of broken heart never heals
And festers for a lifetime
then it is too late for what ifs and should ofs
We say we want to forgive
We try to convince ourselves all is forgiven
And it’s all in the past
but that lie is part of the pain
