Too little time to make amends
for things that I have done.
Too little time to do the things
I've left unsaid, undone.





I always meant to tell my friend
I felt that he was great!
Procrastination caused delay,
until it was too late.





Before I ever got the chance
to brighten up his day,
alas, it was too late for him:
My friend had passed away.





So now I try at every chance
When someone comes my way,
to beam a smile and say hello.
It might just make his day.





With every effort that I make,
I know at least I've tried.
Just helping people wear a smile
makes me feel warm inside.
