IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND (A Reverie) (c) By Polly Guerin




It never entered my mind

That it would come to this

I did not have every wish


It never entered my mind

That in life always be kind

Troubles, tears I might find


It never entered my mind

I just did it with a kiss

Was it something I missed?


It never entered my mind           

That anyone would go away

They were all here, every day


It never entered my mind

An empty place at the table

I tried to forget, wasn’t able


It never entered my mind

And gladness faded away

What more can I say?


It never entered my mind

It takes courage to forget

So engaged otherwise, yet


It never entered my mind

That life might end this way

What care I what they say


It never entered my mind

My freedom gives me cause

To reflect on it all and pause


It never entered my mind

That it would end this way

Alas, tomorrow is another day!
