Plain living and
high thinking
are no more...
What a pity that
in life
we only get our lessons
when they are
of no use...
to us.
let's
Accept the pain,
cherish the joys,
resolve the regrets;
then can come
the best of benedictions.
If
I had my life to live over again,
I'd do it
all the same.
Again, I like the right hook expressed through very few words. Nice one.
this now shall go into August 2017's showcase. you are quite the preacher! ! ! ! Thanks. i commented previously. hope you are well. bri :)
Sir, would you really make no changes at all? How very fortunate you are! Your poem is intriguing.
howdy poet friend, i sent this to MyPoemList. it is not my favorite, is lacking in rhymes and humour/humor [two things i enjoy a lot when done well], BUT it strikes a note within me. i might just choose to live my life over again in the same manner. i might eat a little more chocolate cake and ice cream, but i know my life, if i were to live it OVER, could be a LOT WORSE than it actually has been. all in all i have lead a contented life. and poemhunter has helped to make my retirement years in america more pleasant. thanks for sharing. happy new year to you. :) bri
