Regrets and Lessons Learned

There are things in life that we regret--words we wish had gone unsaid,

starts that had bitter endings,

chances we threw away,

roads we should've never taken,

signs we didn't see,

heart we hurt needlessly,

and wounds we wish we could mend.

But life gets that much harder,

the past can't be rewritten

but it can make you stronger.

Be thankful for every change life has thrown you,

for every break in your heart, for every scar.

Some pages were turned,

some bridges were burned,

but you had lessons learned.
