On Regret
Jealousy emerges, I see others' success. I wonder why I have all this regret Where did the time go How much time is left Will I ever accomplish whatever comes next? In that moment I come to that bridge to mourn the time past, or see my success Because looking more closely, there's more that I've done Only I know all the battles I've won. The times I listened to someone complain The millions of times, I pushed through the pain The days I awoke to work and make bread The times I was honest, the times that I led. The lonely nights, just me and my dog The tears, the sorrow, the friends I have lost. Life has been messy, it's worn me down hard The truth is I'm not sure, how I'm still here at all. I may not know why, where, when or how But I do know tomorrow I'll accomplish my dreams Some call that faith, some call it luck For me it's just love and wading through muck.
