Did You Notice?

Did You Notice?

Did you notice,
it feels like you walked alone?
Did you notice,
the lack of family and friend support shown?
Did you notice,
when others seemed to stop calling on the phone?
Did you notice,
this disappointment made you want to cry or groan?
Did you notice,
how many ways compassion could have been shown?
Did you notice,
when others used a different or demeaning tone?
Did you notice,
a lack of feeling like you were turning to stone?
Did you notice,
when you were ready to move forward even if alone?
