What a poignant reminder of reality. Tomorrow is promised to no one and really we should never defer or procrastinate.
Your poem promotes this message (reality) quite dramatically.
Well written.

So many old friends I should have called pop up in the obituaries. Maybe Mary's long lost feller found out where she was and away they went. Excellent poem.

Hello Friend,
How often do we experience missed opportunities...I know I surely have, and I count my blessing for those time when I did, indeed, buy the artwork or share a bit of time...
One nit = easily fixed: Second line: She's holds crayons in crooked hands.

Thank you for sharing this poignant and moving well-crafted poem

Five stars because I have sadly learned this lesson years ago and needed to have it brought forefront. Words chosen paint a vivid picture of the daily scene. The second line that reads "She's holds crayons in crooked hands..." It reads disjointed...am I missing something? Happy to be notified of your work. It always touches home with me. Thanks. Dorinda

A bittersweet poem. You tell a touching story that happens all around us. You made stop and think, how many people like Mary have I passed by. Next time, I hope I'll stop.

I will stop as well Thomas... I love speaking and reaching out to people I meet daily at the grocery store, CVS etc. and it is so refreshing. yours, diana.

This is a very well written poem and things like that happen every day it seems. We don't need to procrastinate doing something nice for someone. Tomorrow may not come for that person or ourself. Great poem. Blessings, Teri

OH, this is so good. I wish I had a six-star rating left to share for this. I loved the message in this poem. We all need to pause some days and engage with people. Life "gets in our way!" Such a great story/poem.

Very much like my poem "A Neighbor's Regret" what you so adeptly display is the lost chance to be human, express empathy, give of yourself, touch another soul....
Time will rush on if we take a moment to change a life or not...how much better are we all for charity performed?

Hello, ArtAsylum, :)

Good poem. My favorite stanza:
She always feels so distant
In the solitude of a broken mind
I want to buy her artwork
And share a moment of time.
I feel your rhyme was the best in this stanza. It adds to the beat and rhythm of your poem. :)

Does this have any truth in your life? Because I had similar situations.
