I was told that <br />That there was a beautiful sunset <br />Last evening, <br />That lit the sky <br />Like a burning fire, <br />And yet <br />I wasn't there to see it. <br /> <br />I was told that <br />The stars shone so brightly <br />That night, <br />Much brighter than <br />They'd ever shone before, <br />And yet <br />My eyes were closed. <br /> <br />I was told that <br />The chorus of the dawn <br />Was sung more sweetly <br />Than it ever <br />Had been sung before, <br />And yet <br />I did not wake to hear it. <br /> <br /> <br />2011<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/missed-opportunities-6/
