Living and Loving With Some Regrets

If I thought the time that we
shared together was too short,
that would be my regret.
If she stayed with me a little
longer than she wished,
that would be her regret.

If life could be lived
independent of doubt
and fear, and if the
success of relationships
was always perfectly clear,
I would be a robot or a clone,
and not a man of flesh and blood
and bone, here before you
with some regrets.

How true that is! Hindsight is always 20/20 but we have to push on in life doing what we feel is honest, fair, loving and our best. If it leaves us with regrets, we just have to tweek it for the next time. Nice write about acknowledging our humaness.

I think you speak for us all, James.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
