A LIFE IS LIVED THE WAY IT IS LIVED <br /> <br />A life is lived the way it is lived <br />I did what I did <br />And made mistakes <br />Maybe most of it was a mistake <br />I don’t know. <br /> <br />I told myself always <br />The one thing I would never do <br />Is regret. <br />Regrets I don’t have <br />But the tone of regret now touches all I do <br />And some deep sadness says <br />‘I should not have failed so much.’ <br /> <br />G-d who gave me this one life <br />And so much time <br />And so much opportunity <br />G-d who gave me my chance truly. <br /> <br />Can I blame You, <br />If I did not make it?<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-life-is-lived-the-way-it-is-lived/
