                  Regrets
Sometimes when I delve on mistakes in my past
         I take aim like a marksman
           Repeats shall not pass

        Shadow boxing enemies in my mind
      I lash out at my teachers with false pride
           They're here to help
           They're on your side
This I told myself after my insides heaved and cried

         Meager offerings I have to share
             Ten years work
             Some here some there
  My work has guided me while my dignity slept
             Others wisely said
             Watch where you step

       Wise are the masters of my trade
      I am but a grasshopper seeking shade

A very humble poem....you should not regret your mistakes when you have learned from them though!

Dan, this I thoroughly enjoyed.  The message, the form, and the feel made this one stand out, for me.  To live a life of no regrets is a trying challenge, no doubt about it, but how much richer a life!
