The more I think about
the days when I was young
the more I hunger
for them back again
to correct the mistakes
I made back then.
To get to know more of the people
I went to school with
and make more of them a friend.
Sadly that can never be
and all I am left with is thoughts
of what might have been
had I spoken out a bit more.

I think you wrote this poem for me. I was so oblivious to so many things..graduated high school not knowing the names of many of my fellows..Thanks for putting words to that sensation of things gone missing..(smile)
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
I feel exactly the same. Chances lost...Opportunities not taken........things unsaid. I think there are few who would disagree. My biggest regret was being a Civil Servant for 30 years, and following a lack lustre career. We only get one bite of the apple, so it's best to enjoy it. I agree with you, but find personal regrets very destructive. Best Regards Steve
