I wrote this in a reflective moment when I was feeling a bit down...

Life's Disappointments


There's no point regretting what I might have been
If I lived my life over again
But I envy risk-takers; those people who've seen
Adventures beyond those of the pen.

What held me back was the courage to fly
Beyond the bounds of my home;
The walls that enclosed me I saw as too high
And I missed any chances to roam.

So focused was I on adhering to rules
And conventions one must not defy:
Marriage, security, children and schools
That excitement just passed me by.

There are so many things I'd like to have done
And knowledge that I might have gleaned;
Thrills untasted that would have been fun
But life, real life intervened.

I think a lot of people could relate to that Marion but you know, it's never too late to have even the smallest of adventures.

Heather

Interesting Marion.

Is that interesting poem Marion or Marion who is interesting Nev ?


Bob

Marion is the poem isn't she ?

Interesting question to an interesting question to an interesting comment.
I wonder what the answer is.

Some of the biggest risks involve adventures 'of the pen'.

Yes. Many's the time I have wished I could 'un-send' a message.

As Heather said, Marion . . . it's never too late - don't let your regrets take place of your dreams.
