I touched them, beautiful things <br />I saw them, wonderful works <br />I felt them, love of my friends <br />I heard them, melodious sounds <br />I tasted them, life's sweet moments <br /> <br />But I was wrong because I was late <br />To appreciate them. <br />I must put them in my heart from the start <br />And not the time when they are gone.<br /><br />Mac Adrone Adonay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-things-are-gone/
