Sunsets and Sunrises

After a friend's passing, I decided to set my lack of a sympathetic awareness to the tune of a country western song with the first stanza written by me with a chorus by Chat GPT:

My old friend sends me photos of sunsets
I'm still looking at sunrises
A few days later, I hear he's died
I should have known better
Ain't that the way it is, when you should know better you don't and
When you do know better it don't matter


Chorus:
Ain't that the way it is, when you should know better you don't
And when you do know better it don't matter
Life's a winding road, full of twists and turns
Lessons learned too late, and bridges burned.

My condolences, Mr.Lubans. Your poem is a reminder for us to stay present, to slow down and take time to acknowledge our loved ones.
