Regrets

 

We all have them, don’t we?

But what’s the point?

Middle of the night thrashing, rehashing

Rephrasing, recalling what one should’ve said.

 

My head tells me there is no point.

Regret is living in the past

Recent or long ago.

The moment cannot be lived again.

 

I’ve lost too much life

Being embroiled in regret.

Each incident is slightly different.

No rule applies for next time.

 

I make no New Year’s resolutions

Regrets can’t be repaired.

I tell my heart to do one thing.

Embrace each day refueled.

 

Forget the fault lines of the past.

Embrace the fresh new morning,

With a promise to rise from ashes

And be the best You you can be.

 

Don’t dwell in bad decisions,

Unkindness, ill tempered actions.

Look to the new with gratitude

And joyful anticipation.

 

For you are only human

And imperfect by decree.

Let Love and kindness be your guide.

Inhale the fresh new air!
