    Had I Known

    Had I known how brief our time would be
    I would have worried less about tomorrow
    lived for today
    Had I forseen my last words spoken to you would be hurtful
    I would have chosen them differently
    making sure the depth of my love
    was thoroughly expressed
    Had I realized that I wuld not see you ever again
    I would have savored each second holding you
    memorizing ever detail of you
    Had I sensed that tomorrow would not come for us
    I would have overlooked the meaningless irritants
    focused solely on US
    Had I known......

    Hindsight is an emotion which we have all felt at one time or another and is a good reason why we should treasure the special moments that we share with the people we care about. This poem has a simple logic and inspires the reader to cherish the special moments of life.Nicely done.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
