I never knew how much she was to me
I never knew how patient she could be
I never realised until she went away.
How much a woman helps a man each day?
And OH i never knew how thoughtless I had been at times
until... i saw her die.
I never knew the crosses that she bore, with smiling patience
Or the griefs that were upon her heart strings/ as she toiled away.
I only saw her smiles and thought her gay
I took for granted joys that were not so.
I might have helped her then, but didnt know.
I thought she worried needlessly, and yet i see her life was bounded by regret
I might have done much more for her, had I but known her sorrows, or had thought to try.
But now that I am alone at last. I see how much of pain her smiling hid from me.
I never knew how much I leaned upon,That little woman till I found her gone.
How much her patience, gentleness and cheers, Had meant to me through all those early years//.
How many little things she used to do, to smooth my path.
Alas I never knew.
