What Would I Have Done Differently

What would I have done differently

Written By Dean Masciarelli

Wednesday, February 24, 2010


What would I have done differently

If you could still be here with me today

Well first of all I would remind you daily

Just how important you were to me

And I would hug you constantly

Just to show you how much

I really loved you

Yet it’s sad to say that I cant say 
those words to you in person anymore

Because the good Lord took you away

Because you earned your wings to fly

But at least you left me 

With one lasting memory

The day before you passed away

When I told you that I loved you

And you told me that you loved me

Because those were the last words 

That you ever shared with me

What would I have done differently

If you could still be here with me today


(This poem is dedicated to my Mom ( 2-28-98)
