Missed Chances

Lady Sunshine on Nov 13, 2009

A love that never came to be.

Sitting on a bench, at a park nearby
The sun shining bright in the great blue sky

Two friends enjoying each others company
Under the umbrella of hope’s canopy

A tranquil scene in the autumn of spring
With sparrows chirping, hearing their sweet ring

But there is something more than mere friendship
From their posture, it seems more like courtship

For within their shade, there is an attraction
A hidden spark waiting for an explosion

Bubbling underneath the veiled surface
Feelings wanting to expose their true purpose

But alas, for fate was not on their side
A cruel tragedy would be their demise

For death took him from her, leaving her alone
Tormented emotions she cannot atone

All she can do now is sit in regret
For a love she simply cannot forget

With missed chances of them lingering on by
Dwelling upon a bench, beneath the blue sky

You have done a marvelous job of capturng the essence of two very strong emotions–love and sadness. Sometimes we wait too long.

Hi Lady Sunshine, you did a great job expressing your feelings of love and sadness. We should never leave anything to chance, for we know not how short may be the road that lies ahead.

Yes, too often, for one reason or another, love cannot survive.
