Regrets

Began with a simple seed

I watched you grow

Little by little

You manifested a glow

A small sprout be seen

Oh! The joy it brings

Smiles and laughter

A satisfied grin

Laid back on my ground

Complacency arrives

Haven’t realized

The sprout’s been left in the dark

Not paying attention

Why did I not?

The pain of my child

All alone she carried on her back

No one to guide

No one to call

How irresponsible of me

To ignore her bleeding outcry

Too late now to even look back

‘Cause the sprout lost its leaves

An abandoned life

No more light
