Isn't it tragic
How some of the kindest words
About someone
Are often never spoken
Directly to them?
By the time a person realizes
How much another meant to them,
They may already be gone
Maybe only physically,
Or maybe even dead
Then they see their profile,
See the kindest,
Most endearing comments
Anyone could express
But unfortunately,
The recipient
Is not here to see
They've already gone
So please,
If you have something to say
Or gratitude to express
Say it while we're all still here
Our time isn't promised
Until someone has heard you out
Never assume they know
Quite how you see them
Your words matter
