No regrets? I only wish! I have a few, I guess. Choices that I’ve made and rued- While engaged in life’s quest. Places that I’ve never seen- Folks I haven’t met. More than a few encounters- I would just as soon forget. “Time and tide await no man”- I’ve found that to be true. I mourn the time I’ve wasted, And the things I didn’t do. I envy much the thrice-blessed man- That soul I’ve never met… Who can look you in the eye and say- “My friend, I’ve no regrets.” |

Regrets ground us,then make us ponder, and grow, and then for some they produce touching and beautiful poetry, as with this poem. |

John, This is kind of crazy, but my reply to your last poem would fit just as well, if not better for this one. How ironic. I suppose I could just write "ditto". But I'd probably regret it. ~L |

Sometimes we don't feel the full weight of regrets until we are a bit older and understand more, but you are so right...we all have them. |
