Too Often

 

Too often we don't realize

 What we have until it is gone.

 Too often we wait too late to say

 "I'm sorry - I was wrong." 

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones

 We hold dearest to our hearts;

 And we allow foolish things 

To tear our lives apart. 

Far too many times we let

 Unimportant things into our minds;

 And then it's usually too late

 To see what made us blind. 

So be sure that you let people know

 How much they mean to you.

 Take the time to say the words

 Before your time is through. 

Be sure that you appreciate

 Everything you've got;

 And be thankful for the little things

 In life that mean a lot
