Sad poem with regrets to cloud memory. She also could have gone another way after all, so you should not have that kind of guilt. She also could have called. We choose to live our lives in a certain way.
A sad and reflective poem that has left you wondering why there was such an outcome and whether you could have helped in some way. It is written with a beautiful style and genuine concern for another human being. Lovely work. Karin Anderson

Tragic consequences are sometimes unavoidable James - - and we have to take the view that we are not wholly to blame for outcomes - this is a sad poem - but beautifully written -- best wishes to you from Fay....

James this is trully touching, and so tender... You have managed to bring tears to my eyes, as your potrayal of what is unfortuatly all only too recoginized in todays society.. This is very good... Your flow of your words brings out the compasion within you..... Bonnie

How perfect the first line'There was a knock upon my door'! Sometimes we miss it and need to forgive ourselves. enjoy your flow of words and capturing the heart of description. Phebe
