What  I  have  Failed  to  Do

It isn’t the things you’ve done                                                              but the things you leave undone,                                                      which give you a little heartache                                                              at the setting of the sun.

 

The gentle word forgotten,                                                           the letter you didn’t write;                                                         the flowers you might have sent,                                                       are your haunting ghosts tonight.

 

The tender touch of the hand,                                                       the caring and kindly tone;                                                                          which we have no time or thought for,                                                             with troubles enough of our own.
