A thoughtful poem, Carl. Regrets, I’ve had a few. But each part of my life led me where I am today. And, I do eagerly await tomorrow’s new dawn and the promises that day holds.
Regrets. Me too and far too many and painful. Harms I may have caused and certainly ones done to me but understand I had to pass through every door and fall into or climb out of every hole to be where and who I am. Am comfortable now with serenity of age. Had enough adventure that’s for sure.
Audience expects a morning cartoon but intend to mix it up. Some of my poetry efforts have been well received and that is encouraging as is your request. Thanks.
Geez, outstanding cartoonist and poet!…. I thought God gave us all a little — in case we lost the little others had a little too so there would always be some; well, God gave you more than a little!

This is a great poem, I love the structure and repeating words.
Inspiring work!

I think the refrain is effective in prose not just song/hymn and oratory. Thanks for visit.

I love this, Carl…today you made me think. It has a haunting vibe yet is hopeful.

I try to end my serious stuff that way, not necessarily the happy ending but hope.

There are more choices now in comparison to my yesteryears.

Original was twice as long. Went through at least a dozen refinements.
