Could Have Beens

Here's to the call I didn't hear
The signs I didn't heed
The roads I didn't take
The maps that I just couldn't read ~ Walt Wilkins

Regrets. We have them, or do they have us?
We rethink our past, our choices, our disappointments
and obsess over them.
Foreboding. Apprehensions. We have them
or do they have us? We borrow tomorrow's outcomes,
max out the panic before there's anything there.
"Don't worry about the past...you can't change it.
Don't worry about the future...you can't predict it.
Don't worry about the present...
I didn't get you one."
We do have today, and a present it is.
Rejoice and be glad.
