Regrets
Everything can change in the blink of an eye,
One choice you make can change everything.
Just think, something that YOU do could change all your family and you!
It all changed,
It all changed when Joe was little and didn’t pick up his toys when his mom
asked him to.
His mom hissed and screamed at him.
He thought that his life was destroyed because he wouldn’t get any more toys.
It all changed,
It all changed when Mary and her friends sniffed White- Out,
They went to school the next day and could barely read.
Mary regretted ever getting her and her friends into sniffing.
She knew that it was a bad decision and it didn’t affect only her.
It all changed,
Everything changes when you go to a party and get wasted.
You get in the car drunk even though your gut is telling you not to.
The butterflies in your stomach twisted, turned, twirled and tipped your stomach
upside down when you decided to drive.
You hit a little girl on the way home and who is walking across a crosswalk, and
you go to prison for murder.
You have just changed the life of a helpless little girl and her family forever.
Would you regret that?
It all changed,
It all changed when I went to a spring break party and didn’t feel very well,
something wasn’t right.
Nine months later, my life changed when out popped a little baby boy.
I felt like I was putting a burden on my family because the lives of them also
changed when I had a baby.
Everybody has regrets, now you know mine!
Have you ever made a bad decision that you regret and it has changed
everybody’s life, including yours?
I bet you have, because if you ask anybody, they have done something that they
now regret.
Everything changes for everybody around you when you make a bad decision.
It’s not always you that it only impacts. Just think about it whenever you know that
what your about to do is wrong.
Because you might just be changing someone’s life forever!!!!!!!!!
I have regrets.
Do you?
