“Good Intentions”

You know that card you didn’t get, last week when you were ill?
Well, it was I who didn’t send it, but I’m thinking of you still.

The day the telephone didn’t ring, it was I not calling you.
I knew you needed to talk awhile, but I had so much to do.

The visit that was never made, when you were feeling low,
That was I who didn’t come, but I thought about it, you know.

Please forgive me, friend of mine. This is what I am going to do.
I’ll turn my thoughts to actions, So you’ll know I care for you.
