Regrets

REGRETS We all are confronted Sometimes in our life When living’s too tough Death dealing the strife. Over whelmed with yesterdays That appear late at night Some memories of the past A painful sad sight. We long for the moments And what could have been And the folks that we love Regrets…a sad sin. It’s a sin to waste time To live life too fast So bundle up memories The kind that will last. Barbara Barry-Nishanian Sept.30, 2002

This is very nice. I don't see but a few regrets in my life( I'm 62 ) Maybe it's because my mama always said think before you act. I have a poem about her called Lillian :)

Lillian was your golden butterfly. Said beautifully .I hope you can read my comment to Silent one and hope you agree. At 62 you've still got time to have a few more regrets. HA HA. No, no more. You up late again?

Life is too short ot live in regret, yes we make mistakes, but we cant regret them all our lives, we learn lessons and we move one and ensure we do not do the same again.. it is pointless being bitten twice by the same dog... Great words Barbara...

I agree! You know if God can put our sins as far away as the sunrise is from the sunset...what's a few regrets. Thanks for courage you give..by saying, " Nice words"bbn
