Comment from Angela Post
I enjoyed your poem about sweet Mary. It sounds like she was quite resourceful with her art work and that you had good intentions toward her. I think it reflects the busyness of life and how with good intentions, we do not always do things in a timely way. Bittersweet. Thank you for sharing your poem.

Hey Angela... everything you say is absolutely true and woke me up to consciousness to at least try. yours, dana
Comment from BeasPeas
This is an excellent poem, Diana. I see it is biographical. It points out that good intentions may never become the real thing. But I think somewhere in heaven there is a check mark in the column for caring. Your piece is well written and flows well. Topic is always timely. Mood prompts emotion and melancholy. Marilyn

Comment from rspoet
Hello Diana,
So many things I would have done
but time got in my way, to paraphrase.
Thinking positively, maybe she just moved to a different corner,
or a better place.
But one thing for certain, she now lives in your fine story poem
beautifully written in free form.
You are a perpetual six, and I'm so often out
Six crayon pictures of unicorns
and a smile from Mary

Comment from Boogienights
I like this poem very much, but it's not a failure if you do what you can and it doesn't work out. Real failure comes with not noticing when someone is lonely or in need of help. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful poem.

I agree Boogienights... Real failure comes with not noticing when someone is lonely or in need of help. I have trained myself to be kinder, gentler.
Comment from happykat4
I like the tone of your poem. The driver observes a lonely, down on her luck person and has every intension to stop to have a conversation or to help. The drivers world is so busy she misses her opportunity. The time came and the person is gone and never came back. The good intentions, and/or what might have come from the encounter, no one could guess. Life is busy and it can change in a heartbeat, so don't wait, just do. No one knows what tomorrow may bring, it's this moment, this day..I know for my friend was killed instantly when she walked out between two parked cars. IF,she'd only..but there are no "do overs". Your poem drives that point home. Well done! Kat

Comment from Tootie
This is beautiful and I can relate to it so well as I'm sure many others can. There was a house I would pass by all the time. A woman, alone, would always be sitting in a chair inside and I'd see her from my car. It was comforting to know she was there. At the same time, I'd always feel sadness because I knew she was alone. Then one day she wasn't there. I read her obit in the paper soon after. Little moments in our lives and observations leave such an impact. You did not fail this woman. Somehow I believe she knew you admired her and she was there to touch your heart. Well done! Blessings!

Comment from Michael Steinert
Oh no. I honestly did not see the ending coming. It literally gave me chills and think about all the people I should stop and take time to understand. I would have given this a six purely on my emotional reaction, but I am currently out. Just know this poem touched me deeply.
Have a great day!

Hey Michael... This particular time really made me sad at my negligence. I've tried as I go over time to remember not to forget. yours, diana

Thank you for sharing this story. Unfortunately, I have have had similar stories and they haunt me as sometimes, this chance we have to do something good, never comes again because they are gone.
Well done.

Comment from Irish Rain
I wish this were a contest entry. It would surely win. It is observant, and honest. Painfully lovely. How often do we put off such well meaning things? Wonderful.
