NO REGRETS

Posted on

In the realm of existence, where shadows dance,
Awake to the whispers, the lessons of chance.
For life’s elusive nature, fleeting and fast,
Demands our attention, before it is past.

A tale of regret, from a soul near the end,
She wished for reflection, a chance to amend.
In the grip of illness, her passion arose,
Yet years were uncherished, a sadness that grows.
“If only,” she uttered, her voice filled with pain,
“I’d savored each moment, not taken in vain.”

Another tale unfolded, a laptop’s old find,
A video of love, left long behind.
A father’s last message, profound and sincere,
No regrets did he harbor, no shadows to fear.
He spoke of his kin, with gratitude deep,
Asking them to smile, even as he would sleep.

These stories, though bittersweet, ring true in the heart,
Awakening souls, imparting a start.
For life’s swift passage is a common refrain,
A call to action, before it’s inane.

Do not wait for the hour when twilight nears,
Or seek solace in days yet to appear.
Embrace the present, the moment at hand,
Live with intention, as life’s grains of sand.

Each breath is a treasure, a chance to define,
The essence of being, a life so divine.
Embrace your desires, your passions untold,
Risk and learn, let laughter and tears unfold.

In pursuit of dreams, you may face sacrifice,
But the seeds you sow will bear fruits, oh so nice.
Will you toil and strive, when others abstain?
To bask in the glory, when they seek in vain?

Procrastination, a thief in disguise,
Robbing the hours as time swiftly flies.
Take action today, let your future self see,
The gratitude for choices made presently.

Failures shall come, as companions on this road,
Yet they are but lessons, in life’s grand ode.
Hope lingers on, even when dreams lie shattered,
Love persists, even when hearts feel battered.

Be true to yourself, embrace your own grace,
In vulnerability, you find your true place.
For authentic imperfections reveal,
The path to real happiness, love that’s surreal.

The measure of a person lies not in their words,
But in their deeds, where truth truly girds.
Let actions speak volumes, with words in their wake,
Value the genuine, leave the trivial in their wake.

Kindness, a currency, to enrich the soul,
To touch a heart, to make the broken whole.
Remember, each person carries their own strife,
Dreams, fears, love, and loss shape their life.

Through pain, we grow, like flowers in bloom,
Tripping and falling, yet rising from gloom.
Imperfections and wounds make us complete,
Priceless moments of love, joy’s sweet retreat.

Time and experience, heal wounds unseen,
Patience is the balm, where pain has been.
In the vast tapestry of life’s fleeting art,
Sorrows fade, becoming a smaller part.

Now, it is your turn, to seize the day’s light,
To dream, to progress, to love without fright.
In wisdom and kindness, may your decisions flow,
To yourself and others, let compassion grow.

Embrace yourself, let your thoughts soar,
Express your thoughts, as you journey for more.
May your day be inspired, with dreams held high,
A symphony of kindness, as time passes by.
