No Regrets
When I was a young'un growing up
Never really imagined how my life would turn out
Back then, I was just happy to eat, sleep, and play with friends
Well now that I'm an old duffer and looking back
I can honestly say my journey was way above average
With no regrets, no wish to change a single thing
Except for one... Linda, my loving wife of 42 years
Sadly passed away from breast cancer in 1999
We had a family of 5 wee ones, 3 of our own and 2 adopted
We just lived a comfortable life not wanting for anything
I wasn't famous... didn't own a mansion on a hill
Had a successful career of 55 years as a graphic designer
My present wife is Cathie, a second dear loving wife
Tied the knot 13 years ago and have a beautiful union
How fortunate can one person be
So as the title says... I can honestly say I have no regrets!
