TOO LATE

The family was stable
Economically, mentally and emotionally,
Yet they failed to THANK him
They mistakenly forgot to appreciate the works he had done for them
For they thought that was the way things were meant to be
Everyone loved each other like all other families

One fateful day he left them for his heavenly abode
The mother wailed over his body
The children wept over their great loss
They realized their follies and called out his name
But he was far far away to hear their cries
With a big remorse, they think back about the days when he was alive
