Early Morning Remorse

Twice today I lost a gift
Missed opportunity
My heart contracted by inner tumult
My mind distracted and not still
The souls that I could have blessed
They walked away still with thirst
I failed love where love had been invited
I turned away from the feast
And now I regret it
Still I declare there's grace enough
And someone will gain from what I've lost
Where I fall short there is another
More generous than a father
More forgiving than a mother
And from this one I will learn
Towards a better way I'll turn
And next time I shall recognise
The chance to give that's before my eyes

Haha Cherie bet me to the point here! That's exactly what I was going to say! But, I`d like to add the fact that our path is reasonably well set. We can make our own decisions but we can't control extraneous circumstance and nudge and tilt out lives in their destined directions. Look at what you have and not what you don`t my friend! Kudos, peace and smiles to you. Max
Yes, there's no point over-dwelling on our failures. That's why I wrote the poem: to get it off my chest and leave it there. ๐
