Array ( [sid] => 50856 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Too Late [time] => 2004-06-07 19:13:23 [hometext] => To my grandfather......it has almost been a year. I didn't know you well enough but you inspire me to be a better person - and make me realise that no matter what my circumstances, it is my life, and they are my choices to make. [bodytext] =>

Too late to tell you, what you have meant to me
Too late to show you what your love has done in my life
Too late to ask you what I could have done better
Too late to know you, the way that I should

I know it’s too late to say all those words
That I’ve only just realised were waiting to be heard.
Please don’t think that all you had to say
Hasn’t been noted and tucked away.

I know I could have held you, tighter each time
So many years had already slipped by,
And calling’s not so hard, so why didn’t I try?
Why didn’t I treasure you more, each and every day?

I had so much to learn from you - you’d lived it all
Though you didn’t want it that way.
You have acquired so much wisdom and gentleness of spirit
But I can learn from you still – even so far away.

All the things I have discovered, bring me closer than ever
To you my dear love, gone forever.
You have touched so many lives – I saw that today
How could I ever forget, a man such as you?
