No Time For Regret

Tonight, as I looked for something in what was once my oldest daughter's room, my attention was drawn to things that I hardly ever look at. Tears began to well up in my eyes, because I realize how quickly time passed and just how much I missed of her life. I hold on to God's promises, though...it is my only hope...that He will restore what has been taken from us. There is now

     

No Time For Regret…

 I wish that I could gather the minutes, hours, and days

Somehow lost and scattered, and those memories in a haze.

What once I found important, has an insignificant past

I managed to lose track of time…it went by all too fast.

An empty room filled with books and lots of photographs

Tells me how she spent her time, and just who made her laugh.

I was not there, I do not know. I never was a part

Of many things that she now holds, and treasures in her heart.

Regret and tears will not replace all that has been lost.

So I set aside these careless things, considering the cost…

I must not give time to regret, but hope that in days near

That there are memories to be made, and forever hold them dear.
