Caring Similarly

without regret I look back fondly

at the years you call my life...

I see memories that revolve around

good times as well as bad...  I see

memories that were lonely and depressed

and others full of happiness...  I see

times where decisions made were foolish

while others were quire sound... I see

days where I stayed inside - too fearful

of what I might find outside...  I see

memories with females - all of which 

were beautiful and delightful but

ended in tragedy by my own design;

my waarrior months were brief but

quite involved with knowledge gained

that I thought was all quite sound...

and once I threw my hat into the 

workplace, it got tossed about as if

it were nothing more than a playtoy;

I lived an angry life for many years

not caring what I said or did and

learned that success is not individual

but collective in all of its rewards...

regret is not in my nature as some

but regret is part of every life even

when it does not remain too long...

our lives are bound together...

entertwined if you will and when

lived with the fellowship of others is

actually quite the thrill and worth the

wait to finds other who care similarly.
