No Regrets
AS life goes by ever faster
Reflections of opportunities lost
Victories achieved at personal cost
Life's suffering settles the inner beast
Aging Maturing, realizing dreams
Accomplishments not understood boost self esteem
On the edge of breaking through
Talents buried surfaces anew
Close so close, yet far away
A time to take chances, hesitation stops the play
Limits defined only by self doubt
Convince me that I need not let fear shout
Destiny is defined by positive choices
Don't listen to so many voices
At the end, yours is all that counts
After all, that's the one I hear pronounce
I could have, I should have, been better
Alas, that really is not the matter
I did, I did, I did well
I did, I did, But I fell
Victories, defeats they really are the same
Neither happens if we sit and complain
Our lives are truly sustained
Bye persisting past the pain
In many ways such effort is blessed
Human souls put to the test
Bring fruits of pain strength and joy
Such a miracle, we survived life's ploy.
