Did we fall short? 

We should have smiled brighter.Made the situation lighter.

We should have talked all night. Forgetting the wrong and right.                                                                  We should have shared the inane. And understood the pain.

We should have walked along And repaired the wrong.                                                                                                                                           We should ve expressed what we feel. And tried to heal.                                                                                                                                           We should have built up hope and helped cope.

We should have stopped before we judged. And just indulged.                                                                      We should have listened intently,looked closely,noticed minutely and pursued persistently.                                       We should have laughed louder,Kissed longer and Hugged stronger.We should have tried a little harder.          

It is a plea for all those who loose hope,and feel so on the edge that they could tip over. But it’s more for us who may not reach out,just because of our ignorance. But by the time we realize We could loose a dear one to something as futile suicide. And that is an irreplaceable loss I wouldn’t dare dream of.

This is our wake up call to live and help live.

 Because “Death is not the Answer.”
