Not Too Late

'He's gone too soon...'

'It's just not fair...'

'Always so kind...'

'She was always there..'

~

'Such amazing talent...'

'I hope he knew...'

'There will never be another...'

'Honest through and through...'

~

Praise, love, regret;

spoken from down deep.

Heavy in our hearts

we sigh and weep.

~

Somehow the grief

unlocks the gate.

Thoughts we meant to share

then decided 'Wait.'

~

Words, left unsaid

taste of regret.

Counting on time

we lose the bet.

~

Please, tell them now,

don't hesitate.

Don't put it off,

it's not too late.

~

If I've touched you

please let me know.

Don't just eulogize

me when I go.

~

Our time's not long,

it's fleeting fast.

Share memories now

before life's past.

~

Yes, it's cathartic

this outpouring of grief.

But share the love now,

'cause time is brief.

I wonder, have I told those I love how much I appreciate them?

Have I done it to the level with which I've shared how much I'll miss those artists we've lost over the past few years?

I need to make sure my personal superstars know how important they are. How appreciated they are. How much they are loved.

It's not too late.
