My Last Regret Poem by Eliza Clair

My Last Regret



While some will end their days on this earth with no regrets
I will not
I will not have the regret of thinking I lived a perfect life
because no one does
I will not have the regret of a simple life
because it will not have been fully lived
I will not the regret of believing others are always right, or that I am
because it is impossible
I will not have the regret of throwing my life away for others
because it is foolish
I will have the regret of not helping people who will have those regrets
that will be my last regret. So I will start now, to help all that I can. So that person may leave with no regrets.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This came to me after my grandmother died, saying she lived a full and happy life, but had one regret. That one regret was the most eye opening of all.
