You Don’t Know What You Lost

Ever thought that maybe,
I had something good to offer?
What an asset, to this business,
I could be?

Ever wonder what it was your little brother
might be thinking.
Ever thought of really
tapping into me.

Ever tried to realize,
my attitude towards people.
And the courtesy,
dependably, I show.

Could be the very thing that you were
needing at your counter.
If you really want your
revenue to grow.

Ever thought my people skills,
might benefit you somehow.
How maybe if you’d
just invest in me.

That I could help you magnify
the progress of this business.
If you’d treat me with
a little dignity.

I’d come to work, and do my job.
Performance was my goal.
I desired to be best
at what I did.

I have a lot of talent
if I only am instructed.
Instead my growth seemed
something you’d forbid.

I guess that you will never know,
what I had to offer.
Guess we can only wonder,
through the years.

If, ever, any difference,
that this young guy might have made.
If you only would have
shown him through the gears.
