How many times have I forgotten to say
that I am lucky, in more than one way
How many mornings have gone quietly by
When I forgot to kiss, to say goodbye

How many days has not there been a hug
How many times, have I walked away, so smug
And....remember the moments when I sat there
Quiet and angry in that rocking chair

How many evenings beside the fire missed
Moments together we could have just kissed
Little things I forgot to remember
while I sat there, in my stew and simmered.

I’m sorry for moments that didn’t make
the candles burn bright on our loving cake
I have no excuse, I’ll cut through the crap
I didn’t tell you, it’s me who’s the Sap

(sigh) Oh Barry, I know just how you feel, sweet friend, I think we can all have these feelings of regret, but deep down I know that even while you may not always be able to have the time to love someone every moment like this, she will always know how much you think of her and that will always be enough as you continue to love her sincerely! (big hugggssssss) This is a powerful compassionate piece, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Regret,  sure....but beyond regret is the
peace of seeing oneself live what they are
learning...versus going backward in time..
and life..  Thank You Noah...

TD...wisdom?....  Sure,  only took me almost
half a century to start applying some of it.
Guess that happens when you finally open
your eyes and start seeing some of the things
you had all along...and didn't give them the
things they needed as well...

Mind you,  I am still far from perfect...
and surely I will never be that..

Thank You!
