Resentment is an end we haven’t yet accepted.
Regret is a chance gone by we too late detected.
Rejection is felt when we fail what we’ve attempted.
Shame will come calling when our ego has been dented.
Emptiness waits at the tip of every loose ending.
Then, grief creeps on in when a finish line is pending.
Yet, hope cheers us on towards resolving these feelings.
Til, we learn from what’s past to inform future dealings.
When we process honestly our past inventory…
Forewarned is forearmed so we can improve our story.
