No Regrets

By Chief Callahan

I'm weak I have no energy to stand I lean on the thoughts of the day I look to the heavens and question God Why are you punishing me? Is this for a reason? Why don't you let me die? Or do you have a plan for me? The seconds move as days Through my deteriorating skin, I see my reflection in a mirror I stare deep into my eyes as thou I can see my soul I begin to ask myself: Why am I being punished? Is it for a reason? Do I want to die? Does he have a plan for me? It all becomes clear I have been plagued by the misfortunes of my youth Learning from only my mistakes and failures Living at the bottom of my well Never wanting to come out From helping hands, I begin to stand Rising up out of my well Advancing my stages of wisdom through the eyes of my proteges I now can move mountains I'm stronger because of my training I'm can finally say I'm at peace with the past I live my life now with no regrets
