never leave behind regrets…

I had read this poem and it struck my heart… I would just like to share it with you… so here it is:

Too often we don’t realize
what we have until it is gone;

Too often we wait too late to say
“I’m sorry – I was wrong.”

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;

And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;

And then it’s usually too late
to see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;

Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate
everything you’ve got;

And be thankful for the Little Things
in Life that mean a lot.

Growing old
is a privilege denied
to many…

Never leave behind regrets
