Kindness delayed <br />Knocks on dirty windows <br />With curtains frayed <br />Shielding vanquished esteem <br /> <br />Brightness repaid <br />Among weeping willows <br />With sun will fade <br />Like does dime's golden gleam <br /> <br />Many a tear <br />A man's life do alter <br />Piling up years <br />For a funeral pyre <br /> <br />In name of fear <br />Every other fool falters <br />Unlike the sear <br />Setting memories on fire<br /><br />Gabriela Duricova<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/too-late-too-soon/
