"I DIDN'T DO ENOUGH"

By Steve Callahan

I didn’t do enough
to save you
I didn’t do enough
to try
I didn’t do enough
in service
I didn’t do enough
to cry
I didn’t do enough
to matter
I didn’t do enough
to rate
I didn’t do enough
to lose it
I didn’t do enough
to hate
I didn’t do enough
to worry
I didn’t do enough
to heal
I didn’t do enough
to question
But I will do my part
to deal
