Regret

There are things which have no resolve, Guilt and pain most often involved; Wishing for peace, hoping for love, Regret casts a shade most dire. Courage and strength must acquire, Those qualities sent from above; For anguished we argue in vain, So often resolve not attained. 11/7/2018

Very insightful and well constructed verse, Deb - my kind of poetry. Many thanks for your kind comment re a couple of my nonsensical limericks. I love to compose them and hope I can come up with more - Best on you - Bob

A melancholy poem but true to life.

Thanks, Vijay. Regret seems to me the most difficult of emotions to solve. So often, the feelings of regret come after the opportunity to act is lost. I appreciate you reading and commenting on my writing. I always look forward to your words.
