Regrets
Charles W - T Consaul
August 3, 2007
1. The things I did not do
The things I did not say
You know I wanted to
Common sense got in the way
And when it's history, the price I have to pay
Regrets
2. The place I've never been
Or will never see again
The limp satisfaction
Of knowing I still can
If I wasn't tied down like a slave to the plan
Regrets
C: If you never had any
Then you really never lived
If you've had too many
Then it's really uncanny
What the verdict will give
Regrets
3. If you can't make the party
If you can't sing along
If you're not so pretty
If you're not so strong
When you don't even know what really went wrong
Regrets
4. If you can't help a stranger
If you can't stop a friend
If a loved one is in danger
If you can't even pretend
You were ever given any power to defend
Regrets
C2: It isn't Depression
And it isn't the blues
Every time you win
There's something else you have to lose
And you never get to choose
It's the consequence
Of a choice we have to make
The leftovers of living
Hollow emptiness of giving
Or the path you didn't take
Regrets
5. That very first love
That you never did respond to
That moment of truth
That you never got around to
You haven't given up
But you know you're bound to
Regrets
6. Every sunrise
That you didn't get to see
Because you dwelled too long
In your mediocrity
The bitter gratitude
That no one else was there to see
Regrets
(Slightly modified August 4th)
(One more minor change August 5th)
I'm gonna try and record it next week and post it on sound click just in case anyone wants to hear it!

I regret most in my life not being able to revive my son, Koury, Who was 27 days old when he passed away from SIDS.
I tried to resuscitate him, the paramedics had him stable in the ambulance, and I had to stay behind to answer an investigators questions. This took an hour. When I arrived at the hospital I was told he had passed away.
This day is the worst in my history of bad days. I regret
waking up when I did, and not 20 minutes sooner. I regret staying and talking to the investigator. I regret having to spread my sons ashes, well before I feel he should have been taken. My heart will never heal from this break, as I am half a woman never hearing my son tell me he loves me, not being able to get a hug from him, play with him, it is a punishment just to be alive knowing he is dead. But I know everything happens for a reason, I just wish that I knew what it could possibly be.
Blessings and love,
Sassy

There is no such thing as a life without any regrets. However, regrets can become either burdens that interfere with your present happiness and restrict your future, or motivation to move forward.
“I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person.”:))
Have a wonderful day!:)

I don't live in regret. At some point, we wanted to do everything that we've done... I might have thought differently after I did it, but I still don't regret the process of finding out that it was a bad decision!

Hi Moon,
I try to 'accept' and not regret. As we journey through life we must all make decisions and none of us are perfect. If we follow our heart and conscience and do what we feel is right for that particular moment in time, then no matter what the consequences, we shouldn't regret it.

I regret a lot of decisions I made over my life. If I could go back in time, I'd do almost everything differently.
I don't regret being born because it wasn't my decision.

I hear this question a lot in like surveys and such on Myspace. My answer is always the same.
I have no regrets. Everything happens for a reason, and I learn from my mistakes :)

Answering this question! C'est la vie! Another regretful answer to add to my regretful list of my many regrets.
I regret that I have only one answer (life) to give to my Yahoo(country)!

I don't have any regrets. I try to work things out so I won't be left with anything to regret.

I don't regret anything....I've learned something from everything I have ever done. I have made bad choices in life but I don't regret a single one of them.
