No Regrets Poem by Agnes Sligh Turnbull

No Regrets

Rating: 4.2


There is only one thing about which I shall have no regrets when my life ends.
I have savoured to the full all the small, daily joys.
The bright sunshine on the breakfast table;
the smell of the air at dusk;
the sound of the clock ticking;
the light rains that start gently after midnight;
the hour when the family come home;
Sunday evening tea before the fire!
I have never missed one moment of beauty,
not ever taken it for granted.
Spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
I wish I had failed as little in other ways.

Lovely piece of poetry, elegantly penned with conviction. A beautiful story of one that takes things in stride and consequently has found piece and joy in life by appreciating what we usually refer to as 'little things'. Little they may be, but they make huge difference. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

The bright sunshine on the breakfast table; the smell of the air at dusk; the light rains that start gently after midnight; Sunday evening tea before the fire oh.. how much I love the same.. all those little things that makes those moments great..
