Jean Murray Poet Rhyme

Regret

How could I regret my birth?
To say I was not worth
my place among the human race. 
I was meant to be.

How could I regret my broken heart?
It has given me a start
in knowing others' pain so they may gain
my healing hugs.

How could I regret being wed?
Without a husband I would not have fed
my newborn babe laid on my chest,
to feed from my breast.

How could I regret my genes?
They have given me the means
to love music with all my heart.
Move my feet to any beat.

What is the point of regret?
We must decide to set 
aside those negative vibes.
It's good to be alive.

Robert Lindley October 15, 2019 at 9:35 AM Your wonderful questioning of life's realities, while yet seeing and knowing we should also consider our blessings, our gifts, our treasures presents such depth and insight that it awes me. Congratulations on your fine win in this contest my friend. Jean Murray October 15, 2019 at 2:18 PM Robert, you are too kind. I guess it's just the wisdom of age. I took my musicality for granted all my life until I realised my Daddy's input (literally) was the cause.
