Just a little poem to inspire you for the day. As much as I love writing my own poetry, it’s great to read others’ too! There’s so many talented writers with their own unique voices. I surely enjoy reading them.
Here’s “If I Had Known” by Mary Carolyn Davies:
If I had known what troubles you were bearing;
What griefs were in the silence of your face;
I would have been more gentle, and more caring,
And tried to give you gladness for a space.
I would have brought more warmth into the place,
If I had known.
If I had known what thoughts despairing drew you;
(Why do we never try to understand?)
I would have lent a little friendship to you,
And slipped my hand within your hand,
And made your stay more pleasant in the land,
If I had known.
