I saw you on the street

 

I saw you on the street the other day. I was in my car and you were walking.

I thought to myself – this is a reminder to get over to see you and share some tenderness.

That day got busy and the week too and it fell to the side.

The following week I saw your mom on the street and I was again in the car. That was my second reminder and another chance to do it the right way.

I got your number. I called you on the phone. I  said ” I am just so sorry for your tragic loss” You let me in. I asked to see you. We made a plan to have coffee

And this is what you taught me.
