“I Never Danced The Tango”


I have more than a few
Regrets in life…

I wish I’d loved my children…
Much more,
Much longer,
Much stronger.

I would wish to be
Much wiser,
Much gentler,
Much more compassionate.

I have worked on my failings
With some success, 
And forgave myself
For what I could not achieve.

The Scales of Life
Sometimes tipped my way
But on occasion left me aggrieved.

I have been gifted
Many times over
But often had not known
When Fortune smiled down on me
Or left me on my own.

I have not traveled far abroad
Or dined on foreign cuisine,
Or been enthralled by distant lands
That others have likely seen.

But I have held my new born babe
And kissed a grandchild’s cheek
And helped a little boy reel in his pole
By a favorite fishing creek.

I’ve tasted life and spat some back
That sat bitter on my tongue.
I’ve harmonized a few new tunes
That were better left unsung.

I’ve marked my scores
And I know for sure
- that so attentively has He,
And I pray I receive His passing marks,
But I know of no guarantee.

So I’ll leave this plain with a minor regret
That I know I’ll never achieve - 
That I never danced the Tango
On a dazzling summer's eve.
