YOU CAN’T LIVE IN REGRET

H. W. Bryce

You can’t live in Regret.

Regret is a mean old town,

It’s full of red necks and hate,

Accusations, self loathing.

It’s an unhealthy milieu,

You will not thrive there.

The air is full of static – little

Particles that act like germs —

And they will infect you

Soon as you breathe,

And you will become sad and morose

And your friends will shun you.

So, give it a moment, give it a sigh,

And although you really cannot deny,

Step out of its cloud, rejoin the crowd,

Learn from it and live your life out loud.

You’ll never regret the saying goodbye

To regret; it isn’t life that you’ll deny,

It’s the sadness and and lethargy that drains

That you’ll overcome; just you think of the gains.

Do not give up and float down The River of Regret
