Regret

Living life in vain
Seeking pleasures inane
Carrying on the charade
Faking laughter we masquerade
Bad choices are easy made
Turning to memories that don't fade
Pretending to fathom love so well
Yet on unforgiveness we dwell
For generations retain
All that anguish, hurt and pain
Yet wanting not to forget
From cradle to grave we regret

What More To Ask?

What glorious light
Than the shining sun
What heavenly assortment
Than the starlit night
What colourful palette
Than the stretching rainbow
What melodious song
Than the rustling leaves
What splendid display
Than the wildflower beds
What joyous soul
Than the dancing breeze
What true a friend
Than my spirit within
What greater gift
Than this breath of life
