NO REGRETS

Isn’t it funny, my mother said

That you don’t realize all of the good you have until the provider of the goods is gone

Are you reminiscing? I inquired

Yes, she replied, and thinking about all of the things I wish I’d said

Now that he’s gone away

There’s so much more I wish I could say

Why didn’t you just say thank you? I thought to myself

Or maybe I love you would’ve summed it all up

It’s too late now, he can’t hear you, I thought

I only hope he felt good about all he’d done

I want you to know that I love you before you go

Without you I would not be

I never want to wonder if you’d ever really known

That you mean the world to me

That’s not how I want to be

Cause I see it all very clearly now

I feel it within my soul each day

You’re the provider of all good I ever had

I’ll miss you deeply when you go to see dad

So for now I want to say thank you, and I love you
