No Regrets


By Kathy Armijo


 


 


We all hear “I regret …”


But not out of me.


Maybe I’m all wet.


 


Regret (to me) implies guilt,


Shame and culpability


Why cry over milk that’s spilt?


 


Do I have 20/20 hindsight?


Who doesn’t!


Were my choices wrong or right?


 


When a new moment dawns,


I can leave my decision in the jaws of pythons,


Or be happy in what I chose


 


Some may think me callous,


Or perhaps even spineless


In having no regrets.


 


Given the information at the time,


My decisions reflect God’s divine


Guidance and love.


 


God knows my heart.


To reach my decision, He knows what I went through.


He’s always been my guru.


 


And when the time comes


To enter into His kingdom


I hope He agrees with my mindset


Of having no regrets.

When we're following the Master, it should be difficult to have any regrets; a nicely conceived poem; keep the ink flowing! --Joe

Guilt is a true culprit in that I myself feel that I can never give enough...never love enough...never comfort enough...never...never...never....but thats that me....this is a great write.

I agree my friend, if we live our life carefully and do our best we should have no regrets. I also think we should live life to the fullest enjoying every opportunity we can grasp, afterall we only have one life to live! Enjoyed!

With no regrets

One cool way to put it and your usual cool fonts! I like the way the last half "evolves" to the real stuff of admitting we need higher guidance. Most egoists would have ended this poem halfway through! Not you and I say not me, I trust a higher power in my life too.
Have a great weekend.

I think the only regret we could possibly have is not to learn from what happened. Some of my greatest learning was from things I thought I was doing right but didn't get all the desired results.

Optimism Kathy, as you say decisions made with all the information at hand at the time. Not good to look back and try to analyze it just drags you down. Nice write....

Be safe,

You make your case well in this fine poem Kathy! Regretting things doesn't change them, like worry it can be a waste of time.

Kathy,
I have to agree with you, living with regret means that you just aren't trusting yourself and your higher power. We all make mistakes, so we learn from them and we grow..never regret, good wisdom from a beautiful soul.
Peace, Love, and Light,

Your writes always reflect deep introspection on your part - this is a gift, I believe, from the Holy Spirit.

Reminds me of Frank Sinatra's I did it my way. If what you did in your life did not hurt other people then I would agree with you.

Having "No Regrets" requires a kind of bravery that calls for each of us to step out of that place we call comfort...and take giant leaps of faith, and in the end, it is exhilerating! Well done on this fine write.

Ah, but dear Kathy, there are things done which deserve regrets and more . . . Sometimes our decisions affect the innocent . . . Mine did . . .

No regrets? I have to agree with Walt. I have several tucked away in the back of my closet with a skeleton or two I'm sure. At 55, I have no regrets about where I'm at and who I am, but I regret it took me so long to get here. ;~) Well done Kathy and very well said. God bless ya.

I may have a regret or two tucked away somewhere, for a wrong decision, or no decision at all. But if I had it to do all over again, I probably would.
