Cold Regrets



Time melts in our hands
Like snowflakes caught in the December sun,
Lingering just long enough
To amaze us with its intricacies.
We cocoon ourselves in regrets --
The words never spoken,
The hugs never given,
Opportunities lost to the ages --
Poor shelter from the harsh winds of eternity.

Regrets often eat at a person Hugs never given cannot be given later. It is better to live without regrets IF possible and to do more rather than less when one can. Nice reminder.
