So much love that could have been given
So much kindness that could have been felt
So much compassion that could have flowed
So much caring that could have been receivedSo many words of empathy never spoken
So many words of encouragement never heard
So much laughter that never came
So much understanding never shared

(written after the rejection of a friend;
she later died unexpectantly in 2008)
Some people come into our lives
Bringing sweet perfume as from a flower
Oh, but only for a little while!
Their freshness touching usThey are like a ray of sunshine
Shining brightly through a dark place
Their laughter, like dancing daffodils,
Sparkling on the meadow floorSoon, like petals blown, they are gone
How vainly we try to hold them to us!
Yet, their love and kindness linger,
The memory of a lovely flower
