The True Veteran Poem by William Levy
The True Veteran
A man came to me at a gas station
asking for change.
He said he needed gas so he could get home.
I didn't believe him.
But something came over me.
It wasn't fear
it was generosity.
I checked in my wallet for a dollar,
and found two ten dollar bills instead.
He said a dollar was fine,
but that wasn't what I had.
So I gave him ten.
He was so thankful,
and as I drove away I watched him fill up.
I regret it.
I got the theme but the last line - I regret it - simply deceived me. What do you actually mean by it? You were watching him fill his gas with contentment and then you end the poem like this. What do you actually mean?
