Communicate, Appreciate & Validate

A Poem

Communicate, appreciate & validate.

How many times have you heard...

"I need just one last time."

"To say all the unsaid..."

"If I could just turn back time."

Well it’s more common than you know.

So many people live with regret…

So many people need to remember…

What so many people seem to forget.

Don’t let it be too late...

While you still have today…

Communicate, appreciate & validate.

So when the time comes...

A sorry song won’t be sung…

You know all that could be was done…

Communicate. Appreciate. Validate.

Communicate. Appreciate. Validate.

So you believe in an afterlife?

Tell me is it worth the wait.

Of an entire lifetime on earth...

To say all you wanted to say.

I know expressing yourself can be hard...

But it’s all in your hands.

I’ve been fighting my whole life...

But now I finally understand.

Don’t let it be too late...

While you still have today…

Communicate, appreciate & validate.

So when the time comes...

A sorry song won’t be sung…

You know all that could be was done…

Communicate. Appreciate. Validate.

Communicate. Appreciate. Validate.

Take all that you know...

Be brave enough to show…

Exactly how you feel today.

So when tomorrow doesn’t come...

You won’t be the one…

Left feeling the pain of what you didn’t say.

Don’t let it be too late...

While you still have today…

Communicate, appreciate & validate.

So when the time comes...

A sorry song won’t be sung.

You know all that could be was done…

Communicate. Appreciate. Validate.

Communicate. Appreciate. Validate.
