Who wants to regret?

We do such a good job
of tearing into ourselves
harsh and critical in the extreme

What do we hope to achieve
a life of false pressure
self destruction a goal
dissatisfaction and denial

We are better than this
so much good hidden
by us our own devices
devious and cunning
limiting and sad
long term regrets
gaurented

wryly i smile as i write
these words i read
and know their truth
applies in part to me

Each day each hour
a step on my journey
the path is not straight
but i do now see
a future a light
a place with out regret
and life from there
reflected and knowing
there and then things
will be at peace

We know we can help
we are the ones
we take time but
there is not time to waste
our life is short
our life precious
our own to make

be open to angels
who help but know
who is responsible

It is my life
"I am in charge
I will live it"
