Appreciate

Why is it that we never truly appreciate The value of someone until it is too late? A hundred flowers on a wintry grave site A torrent of tears cried at midnight Groanings of morning dawn prayers' sighs Added together cannot ever realize A past that has passed Alas, that weighing debt Of unreconciled regret, becomes a treasure From which we measure The relationships of today, tomorrow Maturing into overflowing blessings From that was empty sorrow
