Regretted I Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos
Regretted I
When I heard today
Your passing away
Regretted I
Failed to pay
You a visit why?
Regretted I
Why, why, why, why
Failed to say goodbye
On your sickbed
Looking at your eye?
Regretted I
Told you not why
Your kindness and honesty
Were descriptions that defy?
Submerged in life's
Rest-not-knowing chores
Oblivious I was of course!
