Lesson #6 - When you are old, don't regret anything

Something my parents have taught me is that I cannot regret anything I've done.
I've failed many times in my life, but I can't regret.
I made choices, bad ones or good ones and the consequences came, but I will never regret these.

I wrote this poem for my Mum. She is one of my inspirations :)

Dear Mum.

Dear Mum,
Found some old photographs.
You looked so young and free!
So happy and full of life,
Reminded myself of me.

I wish you could look back,
and remember how happy you were,
your never-ending smile.
i hope it isn't all a blur.

I felt myself become emotional,
tears streaming down my face,
to think you have forgotten those years,
Don't ever think they were a waste.

Yes you have grown older,
but you are definately wise.
You have created this family,
depleting negativity and lies.

You grew up finding who you were,
with enormous love for those near,
I hope one day you accept who you are,
things are not as bad as they appear.

You are a better person,
for what you've been through.
We all love you for who you are,
No matter what you do.
