No Regrets -W

When I look back to the past,
I feel I have drank the cup of
Life fullest to its brim.

I have taken life as it came,
Knowing this to be the only life,
Like a dress rehearsal of a drama.

I have seen lands and countries,
Met people of different cultures,
Thus enjoying the god’s bounty.

I have received the fullest love,
From the women I loved & cared
And from the women who loved me.

From my children & grandchildren,
Never expected to live to see, yet got it,
All the good things of life.

I have taken life as it came to me, 
And have never questioned God's territories
My muse has been always activated.

Life has many lessons, pleasures and joys DR. Ram I am glad you have lived yours to the fullest. Thank your for you gracious comments, always. Grits or Gritts, is a coarsely stone ground corn meal, with some hust left in it. It is a popular southern breakfast cereal, cooked like oatmeal, and sweeten with sugar. Kiss my Grits, is a southern nice way to say kiss the other end.Lol. It's is really rather good for breakfast. You can buy it in the supermarket. Agape, Moses
