No Time For Regret!
No time for regret that belongs to yesterday.
We cannot change what's been and gone -
So why waste the energy?
What can't be fixed might drive us crazy,
And life's too short for that!
Let's embrace it, come what may -
Celebrate a brand new day,
YOUR WAY!
A future unknown.
Haha! I'm the last person to revel in the unknown -
Anyway, it sounded good!
But hey, there is some merit in it -
Feeling excited about what's to come,
While now is simply an unwritten book.
It's easy to get bogged down fearing the worst,
Cos, believe me, I do...
What if tomorrow turns out better than hoped?
HOPE... now there's a good word!
It's the only thing that keeps us going,
When everything else feels lost.
Some days'll be better than others, of course,
They're not always gonna go our way!
But live life and love deep,
Be someone's blessing -
Make every day count...
Because it's all we'll ever have!

“Celebrate a brand new day
YOUR WAY!”
Amen to that, Billy. I love this.
But you knew I would say that 😉

Oh my gosh, and my spelling atrocious!
Write...not right.
I edited it for my own eyes. Why didn't you point that out? 😂

I have a saying that I try to live by;
"Assume the good".
And more often than not, things do go good. I think our mindset can help steer us towards better outcomes. Shit happens, so make fertilizer. Lol.
Your words are so positive and rewarding to read. Well done Billy.

...Feeling excited about what's to come,
While now is simply an unwritten book....
My canvas is ready, whatever come may.

I am wondering, how did I miss this poem?! All the same, the message is timely!

There's nothing like a good inspirational poem to brighten one's spirits.
Well done, my friend, we must always make each day count.

I know, I know. I just can't help it... lol. Actually, that's not strictly true. I can only write when I feel truly inspired by something or someone. I feel happy you spotted this one. You obviously have an eye for certain poems that have a romantic feel. Thank you for commenting, Casey. 😊
