A New Ending.

Goldfinch60

Our lives are what they are,

We live them with what we are given,

Or with what we have learnt.

Sometimes when looking back

We see things that are regretted,

We wish we could start again,

Start a different life,

And not do those regrettable things.

 

We cannot go back and start again,

What we can do is look back

And use those regrets as experiences,

Experiences to start once more,

Start once more from where we are

And in our lives,

Make a new ending.

    Good write Gold. I regret my KP marriage, but can't do a thing to change it now. Oh woe! I'm stuck, attached to this ball and chain she put on me, and she's thrown away the key! heehee.

              'We live our lives with what we have learned', indeed! "Regrets as experiences" captures the whole point, to me, of being here. Life is simply a learning process, is it not?
              Well done wisdom poem, Goldie, reflecting what you obviously have learned through experience.

                Thank you Louis, you don't get to be my age without learning something in your life.
