I Always Thought We Would Have Time
I did not call on your birthday, dear
Even though I thought about you every year,
I did not cheer when you reached a goal
At least not loud enough for you to hear,
I always thought we would have time...

I did not stop to visit you when I was home
Even though I was there for a week,
I never told you how important you were to me
Those words I did not ever speak.
I always thought we would have time...

I knew that you graduated from that college
Even though it took you many years,
I did not want you to see the jealousy
That was hiding in my tears,
I always thought we would have time...

I heard from our cousin late last night
That you had given your best fight,
But even then, I sadly thought that
I was still in the right,
Because I always thought we would have time...

We always think we have time...it's only until it runs out that we realize the truth...

Carpe diem! Sieze the day! We don't always get another chance, do we?

Good things to think about!

My Husband and I say I Love you everytime we're going to be away from each other, no matter what we're doing. I tell my Son's I love you everytime we talk on the Phone and they do the same. We never know when God is going to call any of us Home, so don't miss a chance to express your LOVE!

((((HUGS))))

Debi,
your poem is profoundly, sadly true. We wait too long to tell the people we love that we care about them, then feel lonely and remorseful once they have passed away. People cry at funerals, not only because they will miss the person who has passed away, but because they are sorry they didn't treat them better when they were alive.
Thank you for sharing this,
Diane

Yes, our sorrow and tears are for us, not them. They reflect our conscience, the things we always meant to do or say and never got around to it. And then we are left, empty and lonely and feeling really low. But we can learn from it, and not wallow in our self pity. We can change it and say and/or be there for others. There is always time enough, if we make use of our lessons and our time.
We are only a failure if we don't grow from the experience.

The time factor is something that we overlook and forget until the day becomes yesterday and the month has moved into years and all those minutes have run out and the seconds have gone. And the hours have left.

Of course I like this, It is a fact. It is the why's and the should'das, It is the lazy love.

It is the tears of truth and the river of our conscience. It is the pain that we hide beneath our good intentions and it is the other side of our hueman-ness. It is the clocks and calendars that we believe we control.

And I thank you for writing this. I thank you for reminding me to call a friend today, and for inviting me to read this today.

I thank you for thinking of me today.

Debi, Thank you so much for inviting me to read your blog. It tears at my heart, and is a strong and needy reminder to call and tell my loved ones that I think of them a lot and that I love them a lot!
Blessings! Mary

wow Debi Thank you for sharing this with me with all of us. I think every now and again we all need a little reminder to tell those we love how we feel...I was just 30 years old when tragicly My oldest brother was killed.
I always wonderd if he knew he was my hero,the wind beneath my wings or how much I loved him,I will never be able to tell him that but time has taught me that no matter where I go or what I do on this earth I carry him with me,because I did love him & I believe in my heart of hearts he knew that and took it with him when he left,at times I feel him here with me around me in times I have needed an uplifting.Its is a lesson I needed & helped me through when I lost my own son.after My brother passed our family got in the habit when ever one of us left after seeing ech other it didnt matter if i seen them yesterday or just talking on the phone we say Luv ya or luv ya man.so we all know. I think that was Something Garry left for us all...again thank you for sharing it was beautifuly written....Hugs Kim
ps,this song always reminds me of that time when we lost my brother...

Many of the messages that I have read here today are a validation for me to say that we do have time and we can change and be better to those we love and the people that are around us. We must never forget that they all can see us from where ever they go after life here and they feel no sorrow or pain there, but to see that one thing that they left behind was the power to change people is so very important. I wish all of you the best in the future and be good to each other. Love, Debi

Your poem has the gonging ring of truth! And I know 1st hand that you never can count on even the next minute! I have always had at least the solonce of knowing that Danny and I said ,I love you" everynight and touched feet and every morning when we woke to a new day. God, How can you know that this is your last day? That there will be NO toes to touchh tonight? No friend too wake up to and NO amount of planning between the 2 of you for just in cases? Forget it ! When it is you all the plans to handle business and hold it together, Are out the window! You do loose it! So say it now and say it pften and always mean it ! Kiss don't Peck! DOLLIE

I believe there is more than this life we have here on earth and although I take the time to tell folks that I care about them, I know that my heart speaks to them too. I miss my father so much even though I was given the oppurtunity to tell him that I love him, he is my hero and that I try to be like him, I know that even now he hears my heart. We don't know what happens beyond the door with our heads, but we know with our hearts?
