RE: We Never Know When (An Original Poem)

in #poetry2 years ago

Oh, yes! This truly speaks to me, Eric #ericvancewalton. There is no getting around it, so much sandwiched in between these lines. Until we take the time to see those little things in life, or they touch a cord, a familiarity, until then, I think they remain unrelated.

This touches me, this written today. We never know, and the beauty of seeing the little things, and allowing me to cherish them before their time is a gift to me. To be able to appreciate them, but, honestly, can you? Especially when you know you can do it tomorrow? But, then it happens you couldn't, and the opportunity is lost.

So again, I feel like I might have not appreciated quite as much as I should have.

Hi, Eric! Your words are not only beautiful but, they leave me with a sense of peace. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. This must be one reason they say "youth is wasted on the young". Can you imagine how much a middle aged person could extract from life if they could go back to their twenties with the wisdom gained from those decades of living?

Ha! Yes! My grandfather used to say that to my mother, who said it to us and so on... It never makes sense, until one day it does.
