I Should Have Said

And Less than eleven months later she would be gone, I think the Lord was preparing me for that...

This just came to me:

I should have said

I loved you more often

And embraced your words when you

Spoke

Of years of wisdom and heritage.

I should have said

Thank you more often

For the kindness you brought into my life

And the Love that you filled my heart with.

I should have said

I care more often

As you dealt with everyday pains

Greater than I could ever imagine

But somehow you still smiled.

I should have said

No matter what

I care

And I think you knew that

But sometimes these things

Need to spoken.

I should have thanked you more

For that summer

You and Fran tried to teach me to

Dance

And the times we laughed
