A Blunt Thought Poem by Savita Tyagi

A Blunt Thought

Rating: 5.0


I read so often many post,
Written and shared of unknown hosts.

'Please don't come to my grave,
Tears in eyes and lips trembling,
To say, how much you loved me'.

'Must you say what you have to,
Please say it now when it matters'.

A word to these love hungry souls,
Please don't mind the thought I pour.

If you haven't heard these words by now
Chances are you won't be hearing them
At your grave or written on your tombstone!

So please quit demanding....
And figure out why haven't you heard those words?

May be a change of behavior would help.....
What we say will not go with you
But what you say will surly stay with us.

Those who search for love may never find it. True love surrounds us anytime, anywhere We just tune in and let it flow. On the other hand it is also true, that so many of us are becoming dumb if it comes to expressing love and appreciation. So often we only realize what our nearest mean to us when they are gone.... Good and thought provoking poem
