Jim, this poem reminds me how important it is to tell people how you feel. Too often, the things that go unsaid are words that may have made a relationship stronger. Thanks for sharing. Carolyn

This is a poigniant piece, Jim. You said a lot in these few lines. There are times when some things aren't better left unsaid. Thank you for sharing this and your thoughtful comment! Love, Robin
