Regrets

I regret Not speaking up when I should have Spewing when I should have been quiet Not saying I love you Slinging my anger Being impatient with others Bowing to fear My flaming ego I regret I've judged others Lying without blinking an eye Living in greed Lusting for people, places and things Gross indifference Ignoring God and his advice Not living a righteous life And putting all things before others I regret Waiting so late in life to see What is really important and not apologizing much sooner Pithy Pants Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Maureen McGreavy 1/30/19

To be alive, is to regret. This is really wonderful, honest, and soul-searching. We all regret those things, sir!
