A Life Is Lived The Way It Is Lived Poem by Shalom Freedman

A Life Is Lived The Way It Is Lived



A LIFE IS LIVED THE WAY IT IS LIVED

A life is lived the way it is lived
I did what I did
And made mistakes
Maybe most of it was a mistake
I don’t know.

I told myself always
The one thing I would never do
Is regret.
Regrets I don’t have
But the tone of regret now touches all I do
And some deep sadness says
‘I should not have failed so much.’

G-d who gave me this one life
And so much time
And so much opportunity
G-d who gave me my chance truly.

Can I blame You,
If I did not make it?

(A Life Is Lived The Way It Is Lived - Poem by Shalom Freedman.) Face to face with truth. No; we can't blame God for our own failures. 'Search me O God...' Thank you.
