'Not That Important? ' Poem by Linda Winchell

Things for some… are not really that important
When you’re forgotten… or viewed brushed aside.
A lack of ones attention proves
That in their mind…you did not reside.

Deleted from their mental address book
Maybe a Birthday card… that had never gotten mailed.
Or all of those un-made phone calls….
Maybe they’d thought of making…but with time… failed.

Where are you on their priority list?
Were you even penciled in?
Maybe in someway you didn’t meet their expectations?
Of where a good friend… to them begins?

Whatever the case might be
You need to… get on with getting on!
Don’t wait around for something my friend
Something in them…never to be found.
