No Regret

I see the stars a-shining.

I hear the birds a-rhyming.

 

The moon, sparkling.

The moon, charming.

 

Time is passing.

Nothing good is lasting.

 

Time goes on.

Life is like a song,

 

One without repeat. 

One that seems so obselete.

 

I'm not ready!

I'm not steady!

 

Dont yell GO!

 

Why do we fight? Squabble? 

Even if its a lesson, so I'm not coddled.

 

I dont want it.

I'm sick of the fits!

 

I need to turn this page...

Start another day.

 

But... How can I on this sour note?

Life is not something to learn by rote.

 

You dont play flat when the note is sharp.

You dont blow to make sound on a harp!

 

It doesnt work that way...

So how does it?

 

I dont know.

Must all there be is woe?

 

Show me.

Teach me.

Dont scream at me! 

Help me. 

 

So that I can be without regret.
