Regrets

 

I regret that yesterday,
I didn't smile a little more,
Or give a warmer welcome
To a caller at my door.
 I regret I didn't take the time
To call a distant friend,
That I wasn't somewhat kinder
And left some notes unpenned.
 I regret I was so cranky
And hasty on my way,
Oh, how I wish that I could change
My thoughtless yesterday.
