Both Happiness and Regret

Unusual path I chose for me
I have a few regrets it's true
White picket fence and wee ones
Wasn't to be my fate
Nowhere to call home
I ventured on
Yes I was
Surely
Free

But as I look back on my journey
Was the right road really taken?
Working the seasonal clubs
Traveling here and there
Making lots of friends
From near and far
But no life 
Of my
Own

I longed for a home and family
All this freedom came at a cost
Relationships didn't last
Only memories would
Plentiful are they
Good ones mostly
Yet,regrets                                                   *for Linda-Marie 's
There are                                                contest"A Journey Back In Time"
