I'm sorry...!
If only I had walked a different
path,
with clearer eyes.
If only...
Then, maybe, my journey
would have been less marred
and more worth marking
and remarking.
If only I had held my tongue.
If only I had valued truth.
If only I had shone a light.
If only I had loved a little
more.
If only...
Excuses, excuses, excuses!
My penitence is paper-thin.
If only...
I'm sorry...!

I was musing on my many 'if onlys' before I hauled myself out of bed this morning.
ReplyDeleteThe first cup of tea for the day helped a bit. I guess most of us have a list. Bill
