I’ve lived within the instant absorbing what I could I’ve given of myself been given to the world at the time I couldn’t see what was straight ahead directly in front of me shied away from strangers except the girl kind made blunders here and there always too stoned to care those moments I have endured to be of the age I am what can I say it all passed so quickly not much matters but today I sit here willingly to what I had I've had my say in this one trip to the end have I wasted my years so many of them like so many others I sure have lived with yes, with regrets can't cry over that spilt milk it was what it was ©May 17, 2018 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (05-18-2018 09:57 AM).] |

Someone I know is fond of saying "that was yesterday and yesterday is gone". I believe it is okay to look back with regrets and wishes of do overs. You just can't live and die in that past. Now is not the time for regrets, you have paid your dues. Call an armistice to the war with yourself and live in peace. ~L |
