Things left

So many things
Left behind
That we can do
Nothing about
Walking backward
Retracing the steps
Making no difference
If it could have been fixed
We would have done it long ago
Coloring outside the lines
Creates a much more beautiful picture
But it can not replace
The one thing
We can do nothing about

I am SO GLAD you are writing again. You have really gotten into this environmental thing, haven't you. Just don't have such a defeatist attitude about it.

regret is a deep well filled with cold clear cleansing water.....

Wonderful poem. Our regretful actions in the past we didn't like can be erased in the future. We just have to choose to change them. Nice job.

Have a nice day.
