Listen to poem:
On Turning Away
In my life, stacked are decisions
I wish I’d taken, others that I regret.
Countless bids and invitations,
adventures I passed up,
roads that were not traveled ~
many it seems, without a thought or care.
But all in all, now that we’re here,
at times I have to wonder…
If, on the turning away,
were I given another chance,
would I not shed a tear
or fail to hesitate
so that standing here today
I might have tallied less regrets.
