“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.
- McCarthy
