REGRETS LET GO.

REGRETS LET GO.

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

A FATHER TALKS TO HIS DEAD SON.

"

I would have-
if I’d known,
if God had shown,

but I went home,
the last chance blown.
Often think

of that evening,
you-
you

as you
always were,
but bodily puffed,

breathing bad,
looking tired,
and I-

as you,
unaware,
death lingered there.

I would have stayed
had I known,
would not

have left you so.
Regrets are negative
and drag one down,

you'd probably say,
no one likes regrets,
let them go.
