Choices
Do not regret the choices you have made
In musing on the pages of your past;
Rejoice before your memories can fade.
It’s pointless thinking chances thus portrayed
Could ever pan out as your hopes forecast;
Do not regret the choices you have made.
The grass is always greener, so it’s said;
But wishful dreams can wilt and wither fast.
Rejoice before your memories can fade.
The jobs whose opportunities you weighed
Still had pitfalls for which you rightly passed;
Do not regret the choices you have made.
The girls who briefly in your life forayed
Built character but were not meant to last;
Rejoice before your memories can fade.
Don’t let deceitful doubts make you dismayed;
Be thankful for the life you have amassed.
Do not regret the choices you have made,
Rejoice before your memories can fade.
