REGRETS
​
I look back with regret
knowing how much I have missed
​
Knowing the warmth and love I
should have did not exist
​
Always there was something that
kept forcing us apart
​
Things I did not know about
that hardened your heart
​
Though I try but it is difficult
to forgive and to forget
​
Words spoken and deeds done
that caused such pain and yet
​
There must have been a time when
your love was there for me
​
When I felt loved and cherished
like the other children that I see.

THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD
​
​
I sometimes wish that I could the
world through my childish eyes see
How wonderful I have told
myself that gift would be
Though in truth I know of course
it's simply not a possibility
Just one of those dreamlike thoughts
that sometimes come over me
Because often these days when
I sit watching my TV
I'm not sure if what my eyes see
is true and factual reality
So much can be changed and altered
with modern technology today
Will it make future generations view
things in a far more sceptical way
Because with AI they will no more
be able to automatically believe
That what their eyes are seeing is real or fake meant only to deceive
However maybe they will more readily
accept the technology of their day
Not like me looking back on my
childhood in a dreamy nostalgic way.
