Fifty-Nine

Many mistakes 'til now from then,


          Many roads that might've been,


     But I hope it's said I hedged my bets,


               With a bountiful heart & no regrets.




~ 7th Place ~  in the "Tweetable Poetry Contest", Scott Thirtyseven, Sponsor.

I could have sworn I thanked you way back when, but here is the empty reply space, so please forgive me ... I'm usually very conscientious about such things. Blessings and thanks, my friend! :-)
