In my haste
to explore the vastness
of all that surrounds
and centers on my life ...
I forgot
to look closely, sensitively
at the delicate pink petals
and intricate green leaf
of the little flower
you pressed
lovingly
into my hand.
In my haste
and mundane preoccupation
with lesser things
all through this day ...
I forgot to tell you
I love you ...
therefore something beautiful
and too precious to waste
was lost
to both of us.

YUP! Preoccupied with mundane things every day, we do forget to say how much we appreciate others. Good one, Margie.
ReplyDeleteGood news; Trisha just got accepted to UNC at Chapel Hill this morning, she will leaving home in August. The only college she applied for, wanted to attend and she got it. Sigh.. kids grow up so fast,no? I am happy and sad at the time.
To forget is usually the result of lifes pressures.

Even me, I really can understand the entire picture. It's getting worst than ever. I just hope that he is worth the wait. It's getting harder and harder everyday since I am seeing the two of them all the time. But then, I have to act that nothing is wrong and yet, pretending is not really easy to do. I just wish that everything will be okay. This is actually the issue I am talking about in my previous posts. Thanks Margie! :)
ReplyDeleteYour post is too sad. :(
