Next Time

It's easy to miss chances
When busy on life's way,
Of doing folk a favour
Or kindness when we may.
Yet when the moment's vanished,
Too late to say 'Oh dear',
And wish we'd made the gesture
That might have brought some cheer.
So do not dwell on failings,
Regret them as we might.
Instead let's make a promise....
Next time we'll get it right.
